Tabbouleh is a refreshing Lebanese salad dish made with herbs and freshly chopped ingredients. It tastes great and is very easy to prepare.

Notes

  • Serve chilled: I'll often chill tabbouleh for 15-30 minutes before serving as it keeps the herbs crisp on the table.
  • Prepare in advance: Although tabbouleh is best served fresh, it can be prepared several hours in advance. Simply cover and keep in the refrigerator until serving. I don't recommend making it the day before though as the herbs will lose their freshness overnight and it won't be as good.
