I would really do some research on the dangers of canola oil before reccomending it to everybody.. other than that, I think this salad looks fabulous

My mother-in-law would die if she heard no lemon juice in tabbouleh. LOL! She is lebanese and she has been making it for 60+ years. She is 81 now and she always says the tabbouleh you buy in stores never has enough lemon. Funny, i love how you said you rinse the bulgar 3 times because your mother did. My mother-in-law probably just put tons of lemon juice because her mother did. no right or wrong. Cumin, cumcumbers and raddish is all new to me. YUM. Thanks…love this….love you.

@juanchy38 Cucumbers are one of the best things about tabouleh. The hummus is a good one, too. The travel channel? I’m game….Rita from AboutEating.

Never seen a tabboule with cucumbers. Thats not authentic tabboule. A Tabboule Salad has basically: Parsley, Tomatoes, Chopped Green Onions or onion of your choice, bulghur, olive oil, lemon juice, salt as you like, some chopped mint leaves may be added-as preference but not a basic ingredient.
vito9000

Let me tell you…Tabbouleh ingredients are as follows: chopped Parsley, chopped green onions or regular onion as you prefer, tomatoes, some chopped mint leaves, bulghur, lemon juice, olive oil and some salt. I’ve never seen tabboule that has cucumbers or any other ingredients than what I mentioned. You can make a salad anyway you like and even add tuna fish to a tabboule of ur creation but the original one is with the Ingredients I mentioned nothing more or less-No cucmbers in a real tabboule

she explained that they used canola oil as a cheaper substitute. I understand your point.
theeSHXT

yeah. the olive oil is used for the taste also.
i can’t imagine tabouleh with that much canola, because she did put quite a bit,

Rita your salad looks great although it’s not very authentic middle eastern. The main components of a middle eastern tobouleh salad is bulgar, parsley, diced tomoatoes, garlic, white onion, a touch of olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice which is key. salt and pepper to taste.

This is the mother of all salads. Its really great with just about any food
glendonflowerspatton

should be olive oil — not canola!
darkvader47
