This classic Mediterranean tabouli is a refreshing and light salad that relies on the bright flavors of fresh herbs and citrus. Unlike heavier grain salads, this version keeps the bulgur wheat tender by soaking rather than boiling, preserving its delicate texture. The combination of finely chopped parsley, juicy tomatoes, and stoned olives creates a colorful and nutritious dish. It is perfect as a side dish for grilled meats, a addition to a mezze platter, or a standalone vegan lunch. The simplicity of the ingredients allows the quality of the olive oil and lemon juice to shine through.
