Lebanese Tabbouleh (also spelled Tabouli) is a refreshing Levantine salad that celebrates the vitality of fresh herbs—a cornerstone of sentient eating. This traditional dish combines finely chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber, and fine bulgur, all unified with a bright lemon vinaigrette that awakens the senses.

What makes tabbouleh so beloved across the Middle East is its emphasis on fresh, living ingredients. The herbs provide chlorophyll and life energy, while the bulgur offers grounding sustenance. Variations exist throughout the region—Turkish kisir contains more bulgur, Armenian eetch adds different seasonings, and some modern adaptations use quinoa or couscous. Yet the essence remains: this is food that nourishes both body and spirit.

We encourage you to experience this delightful salad as our ancestors intended—with herbs chopped by hand to preserve their vital oils and energy. The result is a dish that not only satisfies hunger but elevates consciousness through pure, wholesome ingredients.

Nutritional Benefits: This vibrant Lebanese tabbouleh provides abundant vitamin C from fresh parsley and lemon, while bulgur wheat supplies B-complex vitamins and fiber for digestive health. The fresh herbs contain chlorophyll and antioxidants that support natural detoxification and alkalinity in the system.
