     This is my favorite salad. I love to add in chopped salad veggies like cucumber, celery and green peppers. I haven't tried the pomegranate molasses or honey before but that would help cut the acidity of the lemon. I take this salad and add it to a pita with chicken for a sandwich at work. Yummy! - 10/4/14

     This is a riff on the middle eastern salad, tabhouli. The traditional recipe is bulghur, parsley, tomatoes, cukes with olive oil and lemon juice and salt. I learned from a Lebanese woman. Finely chop vegs in a chopper. Amount of parsley should be more than bulghur - 3/28/15

     Like the homemade version over the boxed stuff! Instead of tomato paste, I added a can of undrained diced tomatoes. I also switched the mint for basil because I only like mint in a cocktail :) FYI for the previous poster, I found bulgur in the natural food aisle. - 4/2/13

     The tomato paste is great , I usually use fresh tomatoes but this great for winter! I make different versions based on what is in season and in the refrig. Great way to use up leftovers too,. - 10/29/14

     pomegranate molasses is actually from sour pomegranates. you can find it at any middle eastern or pakistani grocery. sometimes indian grocers have it. it is sour and adds body and tang to the dish. - 7/11/20

     This was easy and quick to make. I did add some celery to give it more of a crunch. - 6/18/19

     This salad is so versatile. I have to agree with other sparkers, you can toss this together using almost any chopped vegetable. I haven't tried it with the pomegranate molasses or sumac yet, but I'm getting there. - 3/17/19
