I've had Tabbouleh in the past, but was never sure how to make it. I liked the simplicity of this recipe, but instead of soaking the bulgur wheat, I followed the packet instructions and boiled for 10 minutes. Also, I had trouble finding fresh mint in the shops, so substituted coriander/cilantro, which gave it the taste I remember. Wonderful.
