Mint Tabbouleh with Sweet 100s
Here is a fresh take on a classic Middle Eastern salad: with aromatic fresh mint standing in for the usual parsley, tabbouleh is a perfect partner to simple broiled lamb chops. Bulgur is a sturdy, chewy form of wheat that becomes delightfully juicy and flavorful when dressed with good olive oil and vinegar and tossed with tiny, sweet cherry tomatoes.
