Tabouleh

‘Tabouleh is a refreshing salad and can be eaten as a main or a side dish. Every Lebanese has their own version of this dish. I am still honing my own recipe. This version is most similar to the way my mother always makes it – and she makes the best tabouleh. In second place is the tabouleh that my half-Lebanese hairdresser in Wageningen makes. At home, we serve this with lettuce leaves in which you can roll up the tabouleh like a little wrap. Sahtein!’
