Tabouli is a light, refreshing, summery dish that is usually treated as a side dish. But it also makes a great filling for rolled pitas or stuffed vegetables such as tomatoes or roasted zucchini. This is a good staple to have on hand for the summer. This recipe makes a large amount so you can enjoy it all week.

Tips
If you've enjoyed Tabouli at restaurants, you've probably seen, as I have, that recipes can vary greatly in the proportion of bulgur to parsley. I've eaten some that were mostly parsley, and some that were mostly bulgur. This recipes tries to achieve a happy medium. But feel free to adjust to your preferences, of course!
