BEST TABOULEH RECIPE (TABOULI/ Taboule/TABBOULEH SALAD RECIPE)!!! MUST SEE TABOULI SALAD RECIPE !!!

[pinkraynedrop]

I make a massive amount at once. I almost drown it in lemon juice & add the mint, salt, lemon & oil in a cup & mix.... then pour it over it all. I dont use onions at all. I make enough to last 3 days.. depending on how much I eat each day.

I actually eat it as a meal rather than a side. I find it's a fantastic detox as it will really clean you out... and it is not filling enough that you feel bad about eating that much :)

[dedemed]

@pinkraynedrop I agree, I love tabouleh b/c it's high in fiber

[aburg10s]

Mmmmm... so good. Are you from Michigan? I notice an accent. 

[dedemed]

@aburg10s yes i am :)

[swaggerbo1]

great video, i recently started loving middle eastern food. I was wondering where I could buy the Burgul? and procedures before i use it.

[dedemed]

@swaggerbo1 you can buy all the products on my store page on my site, check it out. No procedure is needed before using it :)

[sethzky77]

I put chickpeas in mine.

[dedemed]

@sethzky77 sounds interesting but still good. Great job making it the way you like ;)

[gaelicwolf]

Mm, I love tabouleh. I use the boxed kind and add lots of cherry tomatoes. I ate the whole box myself once.

[dedemed]

@gaelicwolf lol that's a lot of tabouli :)

[NottaVictim]

@gaelicwolf I'm having some boxed tabouli right now and I love it. Not quite as good as the restaurant, but it will do nicely. I put tomatoes in mine too but I don't use lemon juice. I use olive oil and garlic flavored vinegar.

[dedemed]

@NottaVictim if you love boxed tabouli, then you'll definitely love the fresh tabouli, you must give it a try :)

[dedemed]

@kimhirata you are so welcome :)

[ccfulton22]

I'm wondering what your nationality is. I can see that you know how to make a lot of Mediterranean food, but your pronunciations of things is a little bit off in my opinion.

[dedemed]

@ccfulton22 well I am 100% percent Lebanese and the pronunciation is consistent with the Lebanese dialect :)

[radkins337]

Is this the same salad they make in Iraq. Some friends and i would goto Baghdad international hotel, and eat there and they had a salad

[dedemed]

@radkins337 probably but it's actually a Lebanese dish not an Iraqi dish :)

[lafoot]

Awesome, we are now a fan of this salad ... kids love it ..I have also tried it with little garlic powder ... Thank you for this lovely salad. I am lactose intolerant and this one salad I like which does not have cream or cheese.

[dedemed]

@lafoot wonderful and the bulgur adds a lot of fiber as well :)

[sickhog1]

You convinced this very white boy to make some Tabouli!! Damn that sounds good!

@sundayoct2008 I hope you liked it :)

[farisn10]

dede can i substitute the bulghur with cracked oat??

[dedemed]

@farisn10 Not really, I just don't think it would work. If you can't find it at a store near you, check out my site and my store link, you can find it there :)

[TheBleter]

One thing I love about tabouleh is that it actually tastes better the next day. Which makes it a good dish to use if you're having a party. Good recipe. I make it almost the same only with red onion and more bulgur. I'm going to try your recipe with the green onion next time.

[dedemed]

@TheBleter wonderful :)

[RozeintheDesert]

I love tabbouleh and make it often from a Lebanese cookbook. It is similar to your recipe here but with ground Cumin instead of cayenne pepper.

[FarahWonderland7]

I use fresh cilantro in my tabouleh and everyone likes it. There are different variations in tabouleh.

[dedemed]

very true, there are different variations :)

[8ballinthepocket]

can you use fresh mint instead of dried mint or would the fresh be too overbearing?

[dedemed]

you can definitely use fresh mint, it would not be to overbearing, if you can find it available at the grocery store then always use fresh.

[Ezldor]

i googled burgul and its quinoa in english o,o

[dedemed]

very interesting.

[shespa]

[YTfancol]

PS : Should it be soaked in cold or hot water ?

I have seen it can be done both ways,

What do you recommend.

[dedemed]

You can soak it in luke warm water, any temperature is fine :)

[shyann1279]

you are really cool dede :-)

[dedemed]

thank you :)

[YTfancol]

Nice vid.

I have seen two kinds of bulghur at the supermarket. One coarser than the other.

What is the best kind for this recipe and how long should I let it soak ?

[dedemed]

You should use the finer one for this recipe, it should be bulgur #1. Check out my site for the written recipe :)

[spooner712]

Wow! Thank you, this was extremely helpful! God how i miss my mums cooking ;-( I love tabouleh! Thank you for making these videos.

[dedemed]

Great!

[VertigonA380]

I love the recipe Dede but I was devastated seeing the wedding ring on your finger. Damm!

[Squabbles10]

Gorgeous !!!!

[mamachip]

What do you do to prep the parsley? you skipped that completely!

[dedemed]

You just need to wash it in a big tub of water 2 or 3 times to remove any dirt :) You can also trim down the large stem part.

[MrOptimistic07]

your recipes are superb...... kindly tell what is the exact name of the ingredient, BURGU???????AND PEPPER???? used in TABOULI SALAD MANY THANKS

[dedemed]

hello, the written recipe is on my site, check it out.

It is called burghul or bulgur, either way is correct :)

[sohairx33]

Burgal

[metalhaze1982]

do you add dried mint btw?

[dedemed]

Yes I did, you can get the recipe on my site :)

[8NecroMassacre9]

amazing recipes!

subscribed lol :D

[dedemed]

Don't forget to check out my site :)

[2278poop]

do you put onions and green onions or just green onions

[dedemed]

I add both onions and green onions. You can get the recipe written out on my site :)

[WinterHaven]

I could eat tabouli sunrise to sunset.

[dedemed]

I agree :)

[WinterHaven]

Tabouli is salad of the gods! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[violetviolets]

Amazing. I've read through so many recipes on Tabouleh. You'd think there'd only be one. This was by far the best one I've tried. Tasted authentic, fresh and zesty. Thank you so much!!! :)

[dedemed]

wonderful! I'm very happy that you liked it :)

[potomacpoint]

Do you ever add cinnamon to your dressing mixture, or is that completely non-traditional?

[dedemed]

cinnamon is pretty non-traditional, but if you like it that way then you should add it :)

[potomacpoint]

Great! Thank you!

[b44b6]

can u please show the recipe of manakeesh (the cheese sandwish lebnon people make) , it very delicious but I don't know the dough or the cheese they use. PLEaSE!

[dedemed]

go to my site and check out zaatar mankeesh and the easy dough recipe :)

[deAnalyn118]

Do you reccomend to use curly parsley or the flat leaf parsley for the salad?

[dedemed]

You can use both, half flat leaf and half curly, it adds nice texture ;)

[deAnalyn118]

Thanks will give it a try!

[maxtrip1]

Damn.... this girl is my dream: Arabian and good at cook!!!! I wonder if sicilians get along with arabs though... probably yes, becaus we're half arbaic too...

[dedemed]

All Mediterranean's get along :)

[AngellMalak]

Defenitely my favourite <3

[cruzer9982]

I JUS LOVEEEEEE TABOULEH!!!!!!!!!

i am on tabouleh diet.....

it goes gr8 wid pita bread or whole grain bread!!!

AMAZINGGG!!!

[dedemed]

very true :)

[Mangapulse]

Tell me more about a tabouli diet? Sounds cleansing.

[dedemed]

It has a lot of fiber which cleanses your body of toxins.

[pathoplastic]

parsley is also a great natural diuretic... love eating tabouli and hummus together...soo good & combined with bread or pita = complete protein (& jampacked w/ vitamins and minerals)

really healthy stuff

[antiiraqwar]

try eating it with some cheese doritos, delicious!

[dedemed]

I've actually done this before and it tastes great :)

[L0uiseM]

Hey great video!

[teemeena]

Great vids, but this is more like middle eastern cooking not mediterinean, couscous and pasta are not included in your dishes unfortunately , and they are part of the white sea.

[dedemed]

Actually, I do have a couscous video in my video list. A lot of my recipe are Greek and Lebanese and both countries are considered Mediterranean, so yes this is Mediterranean cooking. Thank you and Happy Cooking!

[CelticKnight88]

Take a look at a map sometime, LOL. The middle east IS also on the Mediterranean.

[CaRoL2588]

Can cilantro be used instead of parsley?

[dedemed]

Unfortunately it cannot. Cilantro is a completely different flavor although it does look like parsley :)

[CaRoL2588]

I know, but I'm more used to the Cilantro flavor, since it's broadly used in Mexican cusine...But I'll try with Parsley

[gilsonbicudo]

i add a bit of chopped cucumber....

[dedemed]

As long a you like it, that's all that matters :)

[atbbtb]

this was great. i never knew i needed both dried and fresh mint. that may have been what was missing

thanks

easy to understand good video

[dedemed]

thank you for your support :)

[callejero100]

It may be easier to find BULGUR , BULGHUR, also known as burghul.

[mrjapan1]

burgul

[shadeofme12]

can I use 7 ground spices instead of cayene pepper, miss?

[dedemed]

well, 7 spices really doesn't go well with tabouli, I would say if you don't want to use cayenne pepper then you can just leave it out and it will still taste great!

[hellophoenix]

Syrians don't add cayenne pepper, but I imagine it might be good with it but definitely no 7 spices.

[daonlyplaya]

hehe i feeling like have it now..

[daniellebourey]

i was wondering if you think that the tabouli could hold up as a leftover, or would the salad become wilted from the dressing? basically just wondering if you could save it in the fridge and the salad would hold up well with our becoming wilted. Thank u i love ur channel

[dedemed]

Well it all depends if you mix it with the dressing or not. If the taboule is mixed with the dressing then it is good until the next day. If you chopped the veggies and kept them separate, especially the tomatoes, then it is good for about 3 days :)

[heyyy19]

It holds up really well..much better than regular salad.

[virgodrum]

Wish you showed more closely the preparation (chopping) what kind of parsley was it?

[dedemed]

THis was one of my first videos and I was not aware of the camera. The new videos have better views :) THe parsley I used is flat leaf parsley.

[bigwig1022]

ive been to various markets looking for this "bulgar wheat", but alas, i could not find it. would couscous be an acceptable substitute???

[dedemed]

unfortunately no, couscous needs to be cooked, where as bulgar can be soaked and be edible. :)

[rexria]

do you have to remove the tomato seeds? i ust hope you can focus the camera on the food you're cooking so we can see it clearer thanks

[dedemed]

You do not have to remove the seeds, but try using Roma tomatoes, they have less seeds. THis was one of my first videos, check out my other videos there are many good close ups of the dishes :)

[dellcan11]

I'm going to make this for Thanksgiving, I'm Armenian, my mom used to make this alot.

[sexy21hotness]

mmmmm that looks yummy! thanks for sharing!! =D

[pleasantlyplump3]

Yummmmmy!!!

I love tabouli!!

it's like my favorit salad dish!

Thanks a lot!

[boundsie99]

Just for non persian / arabic speaking people - you may want to say that burgul is commonly known as Bulgar wheat, at least it is in UK and Australia.

[Tuuktalus]

I use fresh curled parsley, pressed garlic and bulgur wheat in mine. Having a garden is great for tabouleh. The parsley, tomatoes, onions, garlic and mint come straight out of the garden in the summer!

[Kuba77]

pretty good ! thank you for the recipe!

[MzDutchDoll]

MMM TABOULLEH MMMM
