Adding a bit of cooked tabouli to your Israeli salad changes the whole texture and feel of this dish. Some add chopped mint or parsley. Everyone serves it with lemon juice, olive oil and a pinch of salt. You can find Tabouli in the rice aisle or ethnic food section of your local supermarket. You can use plain, unflavored Tabouli, or the even the pre-seasoned brands. (Similar to buying a box of rice pilaf.) The Tabouli only takes a minute to prepare, and another 5 minutes until it’s ready!
