Tabbouleh

Taboule is a classic dish of Lebanese cuisine. This cold salad, which combines the refreshing taste of mint with vegetables and bulgur, complemented by a slight lemon sourness, will taste perfect in hot weather. It is prepared simply and quickly, but you need to allow a couple of hours to cool.
