Tabbouleh

Tabbouleh may seem like a complicated or time-consuming effort, but the truth is that this is one of those recipes that is so simple, you'll wonder why you didn't try it before. There is absolutely no cooking - so it works well on those too-hot-to-cook nights - and it's packed with vitamins and good carbs.

Hands-On Time: 10 minutes
Ready In: 30 minutes
