"AMY STAGGS: Hi. My name is Amy Staggs, and on behalf of Expert Village, here is my recipe for tabbouleh. Tabbouleh is a very simple dish to make. It's a Mediterranean Greek dish that requires no cooking so you don't need to bother with your stove, microwave, any of that. You're going to be using bulgur wheat which takes 20 to 30 minutes to soak. So, again, no cooking, you just start relying on cold water. You're also going to be using an array of fresh ingredients. The only ingredients that aren't going to be directly from the garden or from the fresh produce aisle are going to be canned olives and optional flaxseed. Tabbouleh is a perfect dish for vegans, vegetarians, anyone who wants to stay away from animal products or meat in general. It also works with microbiotic diets so these are all very healthful, natural, delicious and robust flavors. So this is a great dish to have served by itself as a main course. If you are someone who does like meat, you can also put some ground chuck in it or it can make a great side dish. So, however you decide to make it, it'll look beautiful on your table."
