Happy Labor Day! We hope you are enjoying the holiday. We are having a BBQ with family and friends today. We are going to have kabobs and lots of tasty sides. Everyone is chipping in, but I volunteered to make dessert and Tabbouleh Salad, one of my all time favorite salads.

Tabbouleh Salad is a Middle Eastern Salad made with bulgur wheat (cracked wheat), tomatoes, cucumber, and fresh herbs. Our mint and parsley are growing like weeds right now, so we've been enjoying this salad on a weekly basis. It is so light and refreshing!

Tabbouleh Salad is easy to make and full of flavor. All you have to do is soak the bulgur wheat in hot water and stir in the tomatoes, cucumbers, scallions, garlic, parsley, and mint. The salad gets dressed with fresh lemon juice and olive oil. Season with a little salt and pepper and you are good to go!

If you are looking for one more dish to add to your Labor Day menu, make this easy Tabbouleh Salad.
