Tabbouleh

Tabouleh comes in all shapes and colours. Bulgar/cracked wheat is a must, as is enough flat leaf parsley to ‘green it up’. Apart from that it’s a fairly open house and can change with the seasons. Mini cucumbers and cherry tomatoes are Riverford Organics summer specialties so there’s no reason to stray too far from the norm.
