Have you made/had tabbouleh before?

I was looking for a dish to use up some parsley and tabbouleh was suggested to go with the falafels I'd made. I ended up not making it, but still had some tabs up with information about it. According to Wikipedia, it's

Tabbouleh (Arabic: تبولة‎; also tabouleh or tabouli) is a Levantine Arab dish,[1] often used as part of a mezze. Its primary ingredients are bulgur, finely chopped parsley, mint, tomato, scallion, and other herbs with lemon juice, olive oil and various seasonings, generally including black pepper and sometimes cinnamon and allspice.

It just sounds like it'd be *really* strong, which could be good ... or overbearing. Any suggestions about how to make it or use it?

No, can't be of any help although I heard from people it is good if you like that type of food.

I think it sounds delicious. But I can't help you out because I'm not entirely familiar with this. I hope you find out more soon.

I think that would be really great with fish or chicken breasts.

I've had a tabouli salad before. Wasn't really fond of it.

it's neither strong nor overbearing - lots of parsley (chopped fine) and bulgar wheat, chopped tomatoes,
It goes perfectly with fallafel (Sp?)

We usually buy it, but we do make the hummus to go with it.

I do a lot of tabbouleh. The flavour is greatly affected by the balance of bulgar and parsley -- some is made very "green" and some is heavier on the wheat. It also makes a big deal whether it marinates in the fridge or is served soon after mixing.

I've had it before, and it was good. It isn't something that I go out of my way for, but I will eat it if it is available.
