Tabbouleh, a traditional Middle Eastern salad, has a rich history dating back to the 10th century. Originating in the mountains of Lebanon and Syria, this refreshing dish was initially made with bulgur, parsley, mint, tomatoes, and onions, dressed with olive oil and lemon juice. Over time, variations emerged, including the addition of feta cheese, which adds a creamy and tangy element to the salad. Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi have popularized this modern twist on the classic recipe. Today, the best versions of Tabbouleh with feta cheese can be found in Lebanese and Mediterranean restaurants, where the freshness of the ingredients is paramount. The key to a perfect Tabbouleh with feta lies in the balance of flavors and textures, with the feta adding a delightful creaminess to the herbaceous salad. Whether enjoyed as a side dish or a light meal, Tabbouleh with feta cheese is a delightful fusion of traditional and contemporary flavors.
