In Lebanon, we love making this for picnics and gatherings, and it pairs brilliantly with grilled meat recipes like shish tawook, kofta kebab, and beef shish kabob. Tabbouleh salad is incredibly fresh and popular, much like fattoush salad, but with parsley as the main ingredient. When I think of Lebanon, tabbouleh comes to mind as a star of mezze platters. At Lebanese dinners, mezze spreads are bountiful, with tabbouleh consistently standing out among favorites like hummus, baba ganoush, and stuffed grape leaves. This Lebanese tabbouleh salad is zingy and fragrant, packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It’s perfect on its own or as a refreshing side with any meal. This version is the one I grew up with, and though I might be a bit biased, I believe it’s the best tabbouleh you’ll ever taste—can’t-stop-eating delicious! The Lebanese tabbouleh salad is now ready to be served. Add some crisp lettuce leaves to scoop the salad with.
Pair with Proteins: Serve the tabbouleh alongside one of these protein-packed Lebanese recipes: kofta kebab, shish tawook, beef shish kabob, falafel, or kibbeh for a balanced and satisfying meal. Complement with Refreshing Drinks: Serve with Lebanese mint lemonade to keep the meal light and refreshing.
