My Tabbouleh Attempt

Well, after reading your blog, Katie, I decided I would try to make your tabbouleh recipe. I had never tried it before & it sounded pretty good. I went to WalMart to do my bulk grocery shopping & added the ingredients to my list. I went over that stupid store twice looking for bulgar, they just do not have it, or mint. I left pretty frustrated but called Reebles North. They did have both the bulgar & the mint, but not the parsley. Reebles South did have the parsley, so three stores later I finally had what I needed. I couldn't find scallions so bought green onions. Is there a difference or are they actually the same thing. I went home & prepared everything & served as a side dish with some grilled chicken. It was so good I was eating it out of the bowl even after I had finished dinner. I think the end result was worth all the frustration. I did use only the 2 tsp of salt Katie suggested & agree any more than that would be to much. Thank you so much for the great recipe. It will be a regular in our home from now on.

Wow! Beth! After you called me from WalmartI figured you would not be able to make the salad for Sunday supper. Your persistence was rewarded. I am glad you like tabouleh. What did the family think?

Peter said it was good but I don't know if he meant it or was just trying to make me feel good. Jacob refused to even try it. I loved & now I have lunch for today. Yeah!

Yay, Beth!!! I, too, must make trips to a couple of different grocery stores in order to acquire all the ingredients.

Luckily, the bulgur wheat comes in a package that will last me several recipes (I think I finally located my bulgur wheat in the baking aisle of Publix--a chain grocery store around here). My Wal-Mart has started carrying mint leaves.

Oh, and yes, the scallions are the same thing as green onions.

I'm glad you tried out (and liked!) the recipe. It's cool if the men in your house don't like it -- more for you!!! Love ya!
