Jul 7, 2021 | Tabbouleh (a.k.a. tabouli or taboulah) is a Middle Eastern, Levantine vegan salad made with finely chopped parsley, mint, bulgur, onions and tomatoes. Mostly associated with Lebanese cuisine, this amazing vegan salad is flavored with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and optionally a bit of sumac and pomegranate molasses for extra tanginess.
For me [HM], the best tabbouleh should be crunchy and with lots of parsley and greens, instead of soggy bulgur. Also try adding a bit of sumac and pomegranate molasses for a hint of sweetness and extra tanginess.

YNET NEWS: Country's Industrialists Association says Jewish state trying to claim ownership of traditional Lebanese delicacies like tabouleh and hummus, plans international food-related suit
Lebanon is planning on filing an international law suit against Israel for violating a food copyright, Fadi Abboud, president of the Lebanese Industrialists Association, told the al-Arabiya network.
The Lebanese claim is that Israel markets original Lebanese food like tabouleh, kubbeh, hummus, falafel and fattoush which the Lebanese considered their trademarks prior to the establishment of the Jewish state.
Abboud explained that the fact that Israel has been marketing Lebanese delicacies under the same names and ingredients around the world has caused great losses to Lebanon, and that while, “the full extent is unknown, it is estimated at tens of millions of dollars annually.” Lebanon: Israel Stole Our Falafel >>> Roee Nahmias | October 6, 2008
