Tabbouleh is a vibrant Middle Eastern salad, traditionally originating from Levantine cuisine, known for its refreshing taste and nutrient-packed ingredients. The dish features finely chopped parsley as its main component, accompanied by bulgur wheat, fresh mint, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and a zesty dressing made with olive oil and lemon juice. Lightly seasoned with salt and sometimes garlic or onions, tabbouleh is a wholesome, plant-based option that offers a range of health benefits. Parsley is rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and K, while bulgur provides fiber and slow-releasing carbohydrates, aiding digestion and energy levels. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, while lemon provides a dose of vitamin C. Tabbouleh is naturally low in calories, making it a great choice for balanced diets. However, portion control is important for those mindful of carbohydrate intake due to the bulgur wheat content.
