NOTES

  • Traditionally served with Romaine lettuce, it can be eaten chilled or at room temperature. I like it best after it sets a few hours.
  • The original recipe included a small cucumber, seeded & diced, but I never use cucumber. For serving, I like tabouli in a pita with hummus. -Ann Marie
  • For serving, I put a flour tortilla in the toaster, cut it into wedges then top with tabouli. -Stephanie
