Tips:

  • Freshness is Key: For the best tabbouleh, use fresh, ripe ingredients, especially the parsley, tomatoes, and cucumber. Fresh herbs are essential for achieving the authentic flavor of tabbouleh.
  • Choose the Right Bulgur: Fine or medium-grain bulgur is best. If you only have coarse bulgur, soak it longer or cook it for a few minutes to soften it.
  • Rinse and Soak the Bulgur: Rinsing the bulgur removes any impurities and helps it cook evenly. Soaking the bulgur helps it absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Chop the Herbs Finely: Finely chopped herbs will distribute their flavor evenly throughout the tabbouleh. Use a sharp knife or a food processor to achieve a fine chop.
  • Don't Overmix: Mix the tabbouleh gently to avoid breaking the bulgur. Overmixing can also make the tabbouleh mushy.
  • Let the Tabbouleh Rest: After mixing the tabbouleh, let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to develop and meld together.
  • Serve Chilled: Tabbouleh is best served chilled. It makes a great side dish or appetizer for any occasion.
