Even better -- though certainly less traditional -- made with quinoa (cooked like white rice in twice its volume of water). Crunchier texture and more definite flavor.

Whatever this is, it is assuredly NOT tabbouleh. No Lebanese person would recognize it as such.

The recipe looks like tabbouleh but the picture is of something else entirely. In Diana Restaurant in Nazareth they use only parsley, green onions, mint, bulgur, lemon juice, salt and olive oil.
