Light, lemony and refreshing!
Probably the most famous green salad, worldwide, from Levant countries but of Lebanese roots. Mostly made from parsley by 75%. If Aleppo peppers are available it will give you a more authentic twist, otherwise use black pepper. Sumac is another spice to be used that enhances the lemony character of this salad.
Go with as much lemon as you like and be sure to finely chop the parsley without bruising the leaves for a crispier Tabbouleh.
