I am a huge fan of tabbouleh. It is easy to make and a healthy vegan meal. I usually make a big portion of it and eat it for lunch over the course of a few days, stuffing the tabbouleh in a warm pita bread pocket or eating it as a side salad.
You can make variations to the recipe (such as substituting the bulgur with quinoa to make a gluten-free option, which is a big favorite of mine) or adjust the amount of ingredients as you please. I prefer to make tabbouleh that is heavier on the bulgur (or quinoa) and lighter on the parsley. I love to eat tabbouleh with hummus, tzatiki, pita bread and a green salad
