  1. Tabbouleh (or Tabbule) is not an Arabic Salad it is a Lebanese salad. For it is one of the signature dishes of Lebanon (I am Lebanese). It is not one of my favorite dishes, but I think regular onions do much better than green onions in Tabbouleh. I would not recommend vegetable oil for Tabbouleh either, the olive oil gives it a much richer taste. Putting the Borghol (or Bulgur) without soaking it can create a great effect of crunchiness. Another alternative to eat Tabbouleh with is cabbage instead of lettuce or even Lebanese bread. It is a great side dish with poultry and meat, extremely nutritious as you put in your description.
     
  2. The bulgur to parsley ratio is really nice here. I might use red onions next time as a personal preference. Served with Recipe #34474, Recipe #202343 and warmed pitas. Thanks for posting!

My name is Louie, and my nick name is Hommus, because I love Hommus,its delicious. I guess having Hommus as a nick name is better than having Baba Ghannous (Arabic Dip) as a nick name. I am of Palestinian orgin and a happily married man for 33 years. I own a Business , (retail Clothing) but I love cooking, its my hobby. I like to cook Arabic Dishes and also recipes from all around the world. I learned my Arabic recipes from my mother . who is a super great cook. In fact my favorite cookbook is the recipes I learned from my Mother. Recently I started to use the slow cooker and I noticed the difference in the flavor.
