NOTES : Here's a twist on the traditional Middle Eastern tabbouleh that uses

whole grains or bulgur. The whole grains make this salad chewier and more

filling than a typical tabbouleh. I especially like to prepare this dish with

kamut, a large golden grain with lots of character and a buttery taste. You'll

also get good results with wheat berries, brown rice, barley or any combination

of your favorite grains. [VT - Recipes and strategies excerpted from Lorna Sass'
