Bulgur Tabbouleh with Aromatic Herbs

Photo credit: © Eatwell101.comNow that the warm weather is finally arriving, let’s think about our BBQ side dishes and fresh snacks. We already published a first version of tabbouleh on the blog, but this one is lighter with very little bulgur balanced by a large amount of herbs — parsley and mint. This gives a very fragrant salad, but one that’s not stodgy at all!
