Tabbouleh is a great spring salad with a bright and zingy lemon flavor. Healthy and light, this is a staple at our spring and summer family get togethers. Traditionally, the prep time could be quite a commitment, but thanks to the food processor, this is a pretty easy salad to prepare!
Chopping the vegetables takes the most time, but once that’s done it’s just a matter of combining everything! You can combine all of the veggies, bulgar, and lemon juice up to 24 hours before serving and store it covered and in the refrigerator.
Once you are ready to serve the tabbouleh, add the salt and olive oil. Sahtain!
