Quick Tabbouleh Recipe

A super simple, fresh salad for any time of the year. My Quick Tabbouleh Recipe really hits the mark for flavour and speed. So tasty and start to finish in 20 mins.

I  really like tabbouleh and wanted to make my own at home, so I was looking around the net at some recipes (also tabouleh, tabbouli, tabouli – wow!!!) and they were mostly made with burghul/bulgur/cracked wheat which seemed to have varying soaking times depending on the recipe post – some being quite a long time! (At least for me anyway!)

So I decided that I would make my own version but use wholemeal couscous instead. This was an idea that I have actually had in the back of my mind for years – my thinking was couscous was a similar size & shape to burghul, and they are both wheat so should taste similar – what could go wrong?

Well… it turned out great! Try it and see!
