Tabbouleh is a Middle Eastern vegetarian dish that is simple and refreshing to make. It’s traditionally made with bulgur wheat. For a gluten-free option, try quinoa. This dish is perfect for warm summer nights. Bulgur can be found in either the organic section of most grocery stores, or in the rice and beans aisle.
