Tabbouleh got its name from the Arabic word ‘Taabil’ which means to season or spice. This easy vegan salad is made by mixing cooked bulgur with chopped herbs, cucumber, and tomatoes. The dressing used in it is very simple, just mix lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Despite such simple ingredients, it tastes amazing and is one of my favorite salads.

It really surprises me to think about what took me so long to try it at home. Create your own tiny maze by serving some simple dishes like Tabbouleh, hummus, falafel, couscous fritters, pita bread.
