Tabbouleh


              Vegan
                       This traditional Middle Eastern dish is perfect as a snack or as
                       a quick side dish or lunch. The fresh parsley and mint give it a
                       refreshing flavor, and the fiber from the bulgur helps you stay full
                       when the afternoon slump hits.

                       Ingredient Tip: As the cucumber and tomatoes stand, they will
                       release some of their juices naturally. If you make this dish ahead
                       of time, use a slotted spoon to serve it onto plates.
