  Very tasty. My advice on salt and tomatoes

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Heeding the advice of previous cooks, I added the 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt to the initial bulgar mix. You really want to do... this to make a nice seasoned base to the salad. I held off the rest of the salt until after the salad had sat for at least an hour and then flavored it to my liking. As for the tomatoes, I don't like the texture or off-taste of tomatoes that have sat overnight. Since the salad was consumed over a 3-day period, I took out the amount of salad I needed for the particular meal, added a comparable amount of freshly chopped tomatoes, and then stored the rest of the salad without any tomatoes. The freshly cut tomatoes each time really kept the taboulleh fresh. Thanks to all for posting such constructive comments. Read more

  Beware of the salt!

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  I learned about the "salt issue" the hard way! I wish I had read the reviews ahead of time! I ended up having to make more... bulghur in order to make a double batch because the salt was SO overwhelming. When the salt was adjusted the recipe was fabulous and the absolute hit of the Mediterranean feast that we hosted at our home.Read more

  The Best Tabbouleh

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I've made this for several parties and it's always a hit! Everyone asks me for the recipe and I tell them that it's the... Barefoot Contessa! I use less salt also but the cherry tomatoes are what makes it for me! So sweet and lots of them! Read more

  TOO MUCH SALT!

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  I wish I had read the comment section before making this recipe. Typically, I salt to taste. However, because this recipe... used specific measurements for the salt I went with the recipe - and in the end ended up throwing out the entire dish. Had I been making this any night of the week, it wouldn't have upset me so much. But this was not the case. I had guest coming for dinner, and no time to remake the salad. It was a huge waste of time, money and very frustrating. I'm rating it one, because for people who may not come and read the comments - this recipe is not worthy of eating if followed as printed. With less salt, I think it would have actually been very good.Read more

  Another "we'll make this on a regular basis" recipe from Ina!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I could kick myself for not making this sooner. It is perfect summertime fare for when it's hot and humid and you want to eat... light. I too changed things around a bit. I eliminated the cilantro because I don't like it, and the parsley because I didn't have any on hand. I did have some leftover roast chicken that I chopped up and added...I can't imagine a better tasting meal. I plan to make this in the winter as well and I will be using Ina's recipe for roasted tomatoes. It's recipes such as this one that prompted me to buy one of her cookbooks..."Back to Basics."Read more
