Tabbouleh, which comes from the Arabic word tabil ("to spice"), is not actually an Israeli or Jewish dish, per se. It originated in the Levant, the historic Middle Eastern region that encapsulated a large swath. We think of tabbouleh as a bulgur salad with lots of parsley and mint. Rinse the bulgur wheat in a sieve until the water runs clear. Drain well, then transfer to a bowl.
