Very nice recipe. I too used only 1/2 cup of bulghur wheat and it tasted lovely. 1 cup Italian parsley suited me too as well as 1/2 cup spring onion. Wonderful recipe. Will keep this to try again.

If you want to take this up a notch use quartered grape tomatos, they are usually sweeter. Also, crush a clove or two of garlic into the oil and let it infuse while the bulghur is soaking. Serve with a side of hummus and this is just a phenomenally tasty, simple and satisfying dish.

Very good, we have a similar salad in Indian cusine called KACHUMAR, but your ingridient is better so it makes a great Tabouleh.

All you need to do is decrease the quantiity of bulghur to 1/2 cup and I sure the real taste of Tabouleh will be achieved. Infact I even added one small tomato extra and it turned out excellent. Thanks for the lovely recipe.

I haven't tried it yet. I was looking for a recipe and found several on-line. This one was nice and clear and sounds simple (almost). I just have a question for Christina -- how do you squeeze extra water out of the bulghur? Are you draining it in a dish towel?Thanks for sharing your recipe!Linda
