Tabbouleh Salad

Tabbouleh is one of the most traditional dishes of Middle Eastern cuisine and has also become very popular in Brazilian gastronomy thanks to its fresh, light, and aromatic flavour. Made with bulgur wheat, fresh parsley, mint, tomato, and onion, this dish stands out for its balanced combination of simple and natural ingredients, seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Refreshing, healthy, and full of personality, Tabbouleh is perfect as a starter, side dish, or light meal on warm days. The secret to a perfect tabbouleh lies in the loose texture of the bulgur wheat and the freshness of the herbs, creating a vibrant, aromatic, and irresistible salad.
