Tabouli is an integral part of a Lebanese dinner spread! It's also the PERFECT salad for spring. So fresh, light, full of those spring green onions and yummy parsley. Ugh. SO GOOD! Placing it in a Tabouli Salad Wrap is a no brainer!
I am pretty picky about my tabouli, I love it super lemon-y and loaded with little pops of cherry tomato in every single bite. It is a very simple salad, but if you mess with the ratios it can taste really "meh"
What is Tabouli Salad?
It is a chopped parsley and bulgur wheat salad. Fresh tomatoes, cucumber and mint also make an appearance!
It's a classic Middle Eastern salad with bright flavors and a zingy lemon dressing.
Is It Healthy?
OH YES! Loaded with leafy greens and other fresh veggies- you will no doubt get your vegetable servings in for the day.
It also has the cracked bulgur wheat and an olive oil and lemon dressing. It doesn't get more healthy than that!

What is in Tabouli?
The ingredients are standard in most every tabouli recipe:
- parsley
- lemon
- cracked wheat
- tomato
- green onion
- mint
- oil
- salt & pepper
Simple enough, right? The combo of these few simple ingredients will add amazing fresh flavor to any dinner table you set!
We love to eat it with traditional Lebanese dishes like Kibbeh nayeh, baked kibbeh, Chicken Kafta, Lebanese Spinach fatayers, or Kousa but it makes a great side for anything. Especially during the Spring and Summer.

Substitutions
Most of these ingredients should be fairly easy to find. The only one that might be tricky is the bulgur wheat.
You could substitute in cooked quinoa or even cauliflower rice!
How To Use Leftover Tabouli Salad
So after making this recipe by request of my husband again and again and again...we started to have a lot of leftovers & I came up with this tabouli salad chicken wrap! It's basically the perfect bite, every bite.
I layer a wrap with hummus, tabouli, and grilled chicken for the ultimate lunch! Who doesn't have a bit of leftover chicken laying around that could get used up?! So let's make a wrap & some tabouli!
