    This looks more like the tabouli I grew up eating. We had Lebanese friends when we lived in Florida in the early 1970's. I really need to start making and eating more Tabouli again, because the bulgar is a better type of wheat for me, I believe, and the Parsley and Lemon really help too! - 1/1/19
