Tabbouleh is a vibrant, refreshing salad originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Lebanese traditions. It is primarily composed of finely chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, and onions, mixed with soaked bulgur wheat and dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, and a touch of salt. The dish is naturally rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins due to its fresh ingredients, particularly the parsley and tomatoes, which are packed with vitamins A, C, and K. Olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, while bulgur wheat adds whole-grain benefits like sustained energy and digestive health. With minimal saturated fat and no added sugars, tabbouleh is considered a nutritious, low-calorie option. However, its sodium content can vary depending on preparation, so those monitoring salt intake should adjust accordingly. Served as a side dish or appetizer, tabbouleh is a delicious, wholesome addition to a balanced diet and a cornerstone of Mediterranean eating.
