Hi,

Please share your tabouli recipe with the rest of us. With all these great

reviews, I am eager to try it. I personally love parsely and eat it all by

itself. lol it tastes so fresh and green and alive.

Thanks,

Judy

Re: QOTW: What is your favorite summer salad?

 

 

1. My favorite salad is homemade tabouleh

(store-bought is generally inedible IMO).

I find I can make a big batch and eat it regularly for a week.

 

2. I had never even eaten tabouleh when I decided to make it for a family

affair.

Since I'm the only veg in the group, I thought I better make something

special: I sifted

through recipes in 4 vegetarian cookbooks and COMBINED all the tabouleh

recipes.

When one recipe called for garbanzos, I added them;when another asked for

feta, I added

feta.

It was rather spectacular, but fairly expensive.

Since then, I've cut back on ingredients (though garbanzzos remain a

constant).

I realized that parsley was awful (and the reason most store-bought is

inedible).

 

We have a local meetup group, and I brought my tabouleh to a pot luck. One

longtime veg

said " Ya know, I never really liked tabouleh before, but this is great " .

 

FWIW, the original garbanzo tabouleh said to cook beans from dry (a good idea)

and then

skin each bean once cooked. After spending " hours " taking off skins, I

resolved to

abandon that idea in the future.-- In ,

I don't have the cookbook close at hand, but I'll try to track it down.

It's fairly conventional other than using the garbanzos.

If I recall correctly, the recipe might have used garbanzos with bulgur as a nod

to protein

complementarity.

Whatever the reason, I find it tasty.

I prefer using dry beans and only cooking them 'til they're just soft enough to

eat.

Another vote for your recipe to be posted here.

I would love to see how you made this salad.
