Tabbouleh with red onion

4 servings

70 minutes

Tabbouleh with red onion is a refreshing and aromatic salad that is a gem of Arab cuisine. Its roots trace back to the Levant, where it is valued for its lightness and richness of fresh herbs. Bulgur absorbs the tartness of lemon juice and the softness of olive oil, creating a delicate texture. Parsley and mint add brightness and freshness, while red onion gives a piquant flavor and slight sharpness. This salad is perfect as a side dish for meat or fish but can also serve as a standalone light meal. Tabbouleh symbolizes simplicity and the richness of natural flavors, turning ordinary ingredients into a gastronomic delight.
