I tried Tabbouleh for the very first time one warm summer night in Athens, I think I was around 19-20, don’t really remember. What I do remember was taking some tabbouleh with my fork, wondering ‘what is this..’ and then feeling this juicy, fresh, tasteful mouthful of different kinds of ingredients.. ‘wow, how cool can this salad be?’ This salad is in fact really cool. It’s not only bulgur with its amazingly rich flavor that places this dish in a high level, but it’s also the nature of the salad, the way it is made. Having all ingredients nicely chopped helps to get in one spoonful all different flavors.. wonderful!
