Zingy and full of flavour, tabbouleh (also spelled tabouli) is a super fresh herb and bulgur salad. There are loads of variations for a traditional tabbouleh recipe \u2014 but one things for sure \u2014 parsley and lemon are the star ingredients. With this Mediterranean favourite, you can expect a refreshing and light salad, that\u2019s packed with healthy ingredients.<\/p>\n

From traditional to modern \u2014 tabbouleh recipes for every season<\/h2>\n

As an over zealous salad fan, I am also a keen tabbouleh lover. Which means not only do I enjoy an authentic tabbouleh, but I also love creative new takes on this Lebanese salad. The original is made with bulgur (parboiled cracked wheat), parsley \u2014 tons of it!! \u2014 mint, green onion and tomato. All of which add to the fresh factor. Then the salad is dressed in a simple combination of olive oil and lemon juice. It\u2019s that simple. I of course like to add a little extra oomph to mine. Which means there is also a little dill (totally optional) and some allspice and cinnamon. Love this combo!<\/p>\n

But if that\u2019s not enough, I also have five more tabbouleh-inspired recipes. Pretty much something for every season!<\/p>\n

\"Broccoli<\/a><\/p>\n

Broccoli Tabbouleh with Toasted Nuts<\/a><\/h2>\n

Here this classic Middle Eastern salad has been upgraded with broccoli. And it\u2019s delicious. Some aspects are the same (herbs, lemon and bulgur), but in this modern version, tomatoes are replaced by pomegranate seeds and toasted nuts and seeds are added for extra flavour and crunch.<\/p>\n

\"Kale<\/a><\/p>\n

Tuscan Kale Tabbouleh with Quinoa<\/a><\/h2>\n

Super nutritious Tuscan kale is tossed together with fresh parley and mint, sweet cherry tomatoes, green onion and quinoa (instead of the traditional bulgur wheat). Tossed in a dressing with cumin and sumac, this is a flavour-packed winter variation!<\/p>\n

\"Cumin-Roasted<\/a><\/p>\n

Cumin-Roasted Carrot Tabbouleh
\n<\/a><\/h2>\n

Not just the sweet and crunchy carrots, but the greens as well. This variation is made with roasted cumin-carrots, toasted almonds and loads of green goodness from carrot tops, parsley, and mint. All tossed together with bulgur and finished off with a little olive oil and lemon. Pomegranates give it a pop of color and refreshing flavor.<\/p>\n

\"Tabbouleh<\/a><\/p>\n

Tabbouleh with Sweet Potatoes, Feta and Pumpkin Seeds<\/a><\/h2>\n

Some things remain the same: bulgur, fresh parsley, mint and lemon juice. Add sweet potato, red onion, Greek feta, toasted pumpkin seeds and pomegranate seeds and you have an explosion of flavour in a salad that can be enjoyed all year round.<\/p>\n

\"orientalisches<\/a><\/p>\n

Herb-Loaded Chickpea Tabbouleh Salad<\/a><\/h2>\n

This classic Middle Eastern salad has been upgraded with chickpeas, fresh dill, millet rather than bulgur, and an ooh so tasty cumin-paprika-cayenne dressing. A summer favourite!<\/p>\n

How to serve tabbouleh<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll often find tabbouleh served as a side dish served with other Mediterranean\/Middle Eastern specialties<\/a> like hummus<\/a>, baba ganoush, falafel, tzatziki<\/a>, feta, olives and the likes\u2026 but it also makes a great side dish with other, more hearty salads or pretty much anything served off the grill.<\/p>\n
