This is one of several modern variations of tabbouleh, a Middle Eastern salad. Tabbouleh is a bold-tasting wheat dish mixing numerous herbs with the mild, nutty flavor of bulgur. Of course, bulgur pairs perfectly with the tang of pomegranate as well as the freshness of mint, adding a nice summer cool to a traditional wheat salad. To top it all off, this dish is easy to make and is packed with nutrients, antioxidants, and fiber.
