Also yesterday I made a taboule salad for the first time. It turned out
pretty good. I combined several recipes until I got the taste that I like.
For those of you who have not tried it, taboule is a Mediterranean dish,
made from wheat grain and is a very refreshing and healthy salad. I used
the coarser grain bulgur, #2. Here goes a posted version and my concoction.

After soaking bulgur, squeeze dry and place in a bowl with the mint,
parsley (I did not use) , tomato, and green onion. Stir the lemon juice,
salt (One half tsp) and garlic together and slowly beat in the oil. Stir in the
pepper, cinnamon and allspice. Pour the dressing over the salad; toss and
serve. Tastes better if you use fresh mint and allow to chill for 3 or 4
hours.
