Tabbouleh Wrapped in Romaine Leaves image

You can skip the preserved lemons(the salad will be just as good)! But be adventurous! Take time to finely cut all the vegies (confettied)! Serve as an appetizer, salad, side dish or main meal.

I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like it might be a bit too complicated.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my tabbouleh turned out really dry. I think I might have used too much bulgur. The romaine leaves were also a bit wilted. Overall, I wasn't very impressed with this recipe.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices or herbs. The romaine leaves were a nice touch, though.

I'm not a huge fan of tabbouleh, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The romaine leaves were a nice touch and the dressing was flavorful. I would definitely make this again.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually make it with quinoa instead of bulgur, and I add a little bit of feta cheese. It's the perfect appetizer or side dish.
