Note: the salad pictured does not have nearly as much parsley in it as I could have liked. It is also made with cous-cous due to time and product constraints that day. It was good, but I highly recommend the following recipe if you want a much more pungent tabouleh salad.
I love tabouleh salad in the summer. It's light, refreshing, and has a taste of parsley and lemon. It goes perfectly with lamb or fresh pita bread. Best of all, it keeps for multiple days and is a perfect make-ahead salad for a picnic or potluck (or workday lunch).
