I love tabbouleh... I really do. It is so fresh and clean on the palate and is such a great side dish or even on its own. I was making veggie burgers the other day and I wanted a nice condiment that could be used on the burger or as an accompaniment. This is such a quick and easy dish that can be made for your lunchbox, dinner or even as a snack. I prefer to make it with couscous as I like the texture better but feel free to use burghul (cracked wheat) if you wish. I hope you enjoy this recipe... Jerome and I ate so much of it, leaving us with green teeth! :)

ReplyDeleteOh YUM! Sounds fabulous! I will defiantly try it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite veggie burger is the quinoa and chickpea one from Vegan Diner. It is insane! With some guacamole, salad and red peppers one it.
