Tabbouleh (Arabic: تبولة; also tabouleh or tabouli) is an Arabic dish, often used as part of a mezze. Its primary ingredients are bulgur, finely chopped parsley, mint, tomato, scallion (spring onion), and other herbs with lemon juice, olive oil and various seasonings, generally including black pepper and sometimes cinnamon and allspice.
In the Levant, tabbouleh is traditionally eaten with a lettuce leaf,[1] but in the United States it is often served with pita bread, as a dip.
Tabbouleh is popular in Brazil and in the Dominican Republic (where it is known as tipili), due to Middle Eastern immigrants who settled there.
The largest recorded bowl of tabbouleh was made on June 9, 2006 in Ramallah, in the West Bank.[2] The previous record was set on February 24, 2001 in Qornet Shahwan, Lebanon. It weighed 1,514 kilograms (3,348 lbs) and earned a Guinness World Record. [3]
