Stay Tuned to HWC Magazine (Healthy World Cuisine) as over the next several posts you are going to learn how to make everything you need to make this delicious vegan Middle Eastern Party Feast. Check out this spread! We have made falafel, baba ghanoush, red pepper hummus, Tabbouleh, Red lentils and rice, roasted vegetables, fresh vegetables, pita breads and pickled vegetables.
We made our Easy Tabbouleh Lebanese Salad with bulgur wheat but you could substitute with cooked quinoa if you need to stay gluten–free. This salad has just a little lit of bulgur wheat and mostly fresh herbs and that is our favorite way as it really brightens up so many dishes. A favorite way for us to enjoy this treat is rolled up in a lettuce leaf but also delicious on pita flat breads with hummus, falafel and pickled vegetables.
You can make Easy Tabbouleh Lebanese Salad in advance of up to 24 hours but your leaves may not stay as vibrant green. Once the lemon juice hits the leaves it starts to fade the green color but it still tastes fantastic. If you want to make a little in advance, you can put everything together except hold off on adding the lemon juice, olive oil and seasonings until you are ready to serve.
When you take your first bite of the fresh herbs and fresh lemon of the easy tabbouleh salad, you will be in heaven and teleported off momentarily traveling to another world. We are always on the hunt for new and inspiring easy pack work lunches and bringing in a Middle Eastern feast in a little bento box with separate little compartments is out of this world. You don’t have to reheat anything. You don’t even need a fork if you find yourself in a “Salad Situation”. You can use a delicious pita flatbread to just scoop and eat.

Easy Tabbouleh Lebanese Salad
Ingredients

Fail to understand I have not commented on one of my very favourite recipes I could eat most days instead of noodles, potatoes et al! Make mine a wee bit more garlicky and with about double the shallots but that bis onion-loving me 🙂 !

Tabbouleh is so refreshing and is a delicious accompaniment to so many dishes. I agree- you can't ever go wrong with more garlic.(smiling) Stay well and take care

This is wonderful. I love the flavors. In your email Lebanese is misspelled.

Thanks Mimi - we love this refreshing salad too. I guess we need to stop burning the candles at both ends.
