The highlight of our neighborhood potlucks has long been my mother-in-law’s tabbouleh. It satisfies the healthiest appetites with filling bulgur wheat, parsley, mint and tomatoes brightened up with olive oil and lemon juice.—Deirdre Dee Cox, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

1 cup bulgur

Delicious! I've been working my way through several tabbouleh recipes and this is, by far, the best yet!

Tabbouleh is wonderful. I make one like yours. I changed the recipe I had and use chicken broth or stock for even more flavor and I also put some dill in it.
