I wonder if you are thinking of a regional variant of

Tabbouleh (aka Tabouli or 12 other variant spellings).

Each place and probably each family has their

proportions and mixture, but it is a very common

salad. I change ingredients each time I make it, but

here is a decent base recipie to vary around.

-Tomatoes, Parsley, mint, wheat and onion - If you

added more garlic, would this be your dish?

(burghul in this recipie is what we call Bulghur

Wheat, but any whole grain could substitute - Kasha,

Barley, Quinoa goes well in its place, too).

 

Always a great summer recipie because it is served

cold and uses in season ingredients, with a sharp

taste
