The Levantine salad of parsley, bulgur, tomatoes, and lemon is called tabbouleh.
Traditional tabbouleh is a herb-forward salad in which finely chopped parsley is the dominant ingredient. It also includes tomatoes, fresh mint, bulgur, onion or scallions, lemon juice, and olive oil. The mixture is served cool or at room temperature.
Tabbouleh is associated especially with Lebanon and Syria and is widely served as part of a mezze. In authentic preparations, bulgur is present in a relatively small amount compared with the herbs, although restaurant and packaged versions may use more grain.
Tabbouleh is distinct from fattoush, another Levantine salad. Fattoush is built around mixed vegetables and toasted or fried pieces of pita, while tabbouleh is defined by its finely chopped parsley and bulgur combination.
