Altered ingredient amounts.
Not a great fan of salt. I made half quantity and just added a pinch of sea salt. Lovely fresh tasting recipe.

Lebanese tabbouleh (original) does not have cucumber or garlic and the burgul (cracked wheat) used is very fine (very small size). Olive oil and lemon juice with some salt and ground pepper mixed well provide a very good taste without the garlic.

This is particularly good Tabbouleh. I like your version, Katherine. The only thing I did differently was to cut the olive oil (only because everything else on the menu had Oil in it too), added some red onion for colour, and added more parsley. This was sooooo good! Thanks for sharing.

Used different ingredients.
I have now made this recipe a few times to take to a braai (South African barbecue) and it always goes down very well and it goes very well with bbq'd meat. I have made it with red and brown onion instead of the spring onion when I have been out of spring onion and I like the red onion best. I have also found that the olive oil should be reduced to 4 tbsp (for my tastes) and that the bulgar should be soaked in less water to save the mess of draining it - about 240ml. This also keeps it kinda crunchy and prevents it going soggy. This salad must be well mixed again before serving as the dressing settles to the bottom. All in all a great recipe.

This was really good and healthy! I soaked the wheat longer than 30 minutes and it soaked up all of the water and there was nothing to drain.
