Tabbouleh



Tabbouleh (تبولة; also Tabouleh or Tabouli) is a Lebanese salad dish, often used as part of a mezze. Its primary ingredients are bulgur, finely chopped parsley, mint, tomato, scallion (spring onion), and other herbs with lemon juice and various seasonings, generally including black pepper and sometimes cinnamon and allspice. In Syria and in Lebanon, where the dish originated, it is often eaten by scooping it up in Romaine lettuce leaves.

Tabbouleh is also popular in Brazil and in the Dominican Republic (where it is known as tipili), due to Mediterranean arab immigrants who settled there.

In the United States, tabbouleh is sometimes used as a dip.

The largest recorded bowl of tabbouleh was made on June 9, 2006 in Ramallah, West Bank. The previous record was set on February 24, 2001 in Qornet Shahwan, Lebanon. It weighed 1,514 kilograms (3,348 lbs) and earned a Guinness World Record.
