    This would be a good recipe for someone with a lot of time and a sharp knife. The pieces are quite uniform in size which makes it easier to eat for those with chewing problems. On the other hand, it is not so visually stimulating for those who taste with their eyes. If I were making it, I would add a garnish of contrasting size and color. I love dishes made with raw vegetables, so I give a thumbs up.

    cool down guys...nobody said that it is tabboleh, it is just the site version for a mediteranian salad (they didn`t even said that it is a MIDDLE EASTERN SALAD),,, and ofcourse tabboleh is much simpler than that>>>I think this is a nutritious salad but with all those ingredients I`m not sure if it is tasty

    Oh no this can't be a Tabbouleh! God no! all you need for the tabbouleh are parsley, tomatoes and onions, topped with olive oil, lemon juice and Bulgur, and seasoned with salt and pepper... THAT'S IT!

    This is good fo a kids party to make them feel grown up. but like you said the adults should have wheat

    Guess this is a kind of Tabbouleh . Would prefer it with Bulgur Wheat instead of the Sunflower seeds which I'd find a little dry .
