    Delicious salad! I added chickpeas for some protein. Just perfect for summer!

      Chickpeas in tabbouleh? Interesting twist! I usually keep it traditional, but I might try that next time.

    2. 2 stars
      Sounds good and all, but I think the bulgur is enough, no need for chickpeas. Just saying.

    My friend said bulgur is just wheat and who even eats that? Well, I tried it anyway. Not bad!

    So easy and simple! My kids even liked it, well, mostly! I will make this again for sure! 4 stars.

    This is the best tabbouleh recipe I’ve ever tried! So fresh and delicious. I added a bit more mint and it was perfect! Definitely a 5!

    Why do people like this salad? It’s just veggies and grains. 1 star for me, not my kind of food.

      Salad is healthy!! But I hear ya, not for everyone. Other peeps love the crunch of the veggies. More for them, right?

      I understand where you’re coming from, but this salad is all about freshness and flavor! Have you tried it with some feta or nuts? It might surprise you!

  10. 4 stars
    This looks confusing… I just toss everything together and hope for the best. Works out sometimes. 😂

    Wow! Just wow! I didn’t think I would like this but I’m addicted now. 5!!!

      Really? I don’t get how people like this salad. It’s just chopped stuff! Can’t believe you’re addicted…

      I’m so happy to hear that! Tabbouleh is seriously the best! Have you tried it with feta cheese? Adds an awesome flavor!

  12. 4 stars
    Tabbouleh is one of my favorites! But why does everyone insist on using so much parsley? Seems overkill to me.

    1. User avatar christopher.ferry says:

      4 stars
      I think the parsley is what makes it so fresh! But I get it, too much can be a bit much. Maybe just use half the amount?

  13. 3 stars
    I thought it was good but a bit too sour with the lemon juice. Next time, I’ll reduce it. 3 stars.

    1. User avatar king.heaney89 says:

      4 stars
      I get you! Lemon can be really strong. Maybe try adding some extra olive oil next time to balance it out!

    2. User avatar chandra.hegmann18 says:

      3 stars? Really? I thought this was one of the best salads! Maybe you just did it wrong.

  14. User avatar elisha.ruecker27 says:

    Too much parsley! My salad looked more like a garden. I had to add more tomatoes to balance it out. Two stars for effort!

    1. 4 stars
      I get what you mean! I love parsley, but too much can definitely take over. Maybe next time try cutting it down to half a cup? That’s what I do.

  15. 5 stars
    Yummm! Made this for a picnic and everyone asked for the recipe. It was a hit! 5 stars from me!

    I don’t get why everyone likes bulgur so much. I used quinoa instead and it was pretty good, but still not my favorite dish. Three stars.

  17. User avatar art.macejkovic62 says:

    I think I accidentally added too much lemon juice. 😬 Anyway, it still tastes goodish! Giving 4 stars.

  18. User avatar luise.nienow43 says:

    2 stars
    This is not how I learned to make it. Too much oil, I think. Goes against the dish’s roots?

    1. 4 stars
      I get your point, but the oil is kinda essential for flavor, right? That’s how I always did it! 😊

  19. User avatar shonta.wilkinson2 says:

    I just mixed everything and didn’t wait for the bulgur to soak. It was okay but watery, my fault tho. 3 stars.

  20. User avatar wilfredo.mayert2019 says:

    I tried making this, but I used brown rice instead of bulgur. Totally didn’t turn out right. Not ideal!

    1. 3 stars
      Brown rice? That’s a bit off for this recipe, but it’s nice you tried! Maybe stick to bulgur next time. 😅

  21. 4 stars
    Good recipe, but I substituted quinoa for bulgur since I’m gluten-free. Still lovely flavors!

  22. 5 stars
    Yummy! I never knew salads could be this good. But wait, is this even healthy? Guess we’ll see! 🌱

      Salads are super healthy, especially with those fresh ingredients! 🌿 You really can’t go wrong here. Enjoy!

    Tabbouleh? More like Tab-no-thank-you. Not a fan of parsley in large amounts. 2 stars.

    1. User avatar Wonko the Sane says:

      4 stars
      I get where you’re coming from, parsley can be overbearing. But maybe just adjust the amount next time? Tabbouleh can be great if balanced! 😊

  24. User avatar dean.willms1981 says:

    2 stars
    I don’t know, it turned out kinda bland. Maybe I didn’t use enough salt? But I followed the recipe exactly. 2 stars.
