Tabbouleh is a traditional Middle Eastern salad with a rich history dating back to the mountains of Lebanon and Syria. This vibrant dish is a staple in the Levantine cuisine, known for its refreshing flavors and healthy ingredients. Tabbouleh is made with finely chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, onions, and bulgur, all tossed in a zesty dressing of olive oil and lemon juice. Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi have popularized this dish in modern culinary circles, while restaurants in Beirut and Tel Aviv serve up authentic versions. The key to a perfect tabbouleh lies in the freshness of the herbs and the balance of tangy and savory flavors. For a twist, some chefs incorporate quinoa or couscous for a unique take on this classic salad. Today, the best tabbouleh can be found in traditional Lebanese eateries, where the art of making this dish has been perfected over generations.
