Yep, ordered Tabbouleh salad several times in restaurants. I liked it, I think the dressing is just the olive oil in it.
Bulgar I know little about, but this sounds like what I had in the salads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgur

My mom made that all the time and everyone loved it. Except for me-I don`t eat tomatoes unless they are cooked. She lived in Saudi Arabia for a couple of years in the mid 70s and this was a recipe she brought back from there. Fortunately,I was married by then so I didn`t have to eat it lol.

I've eaten it quite often in the past, at friends where I used to live. Fresh lemon juice is sometimes used.

Oh yes, and it was delicious. I ate it for years.
I also cooked and ate bulgar, a whole grain, as a hot dish, which subs in for any rice or grain.
More flavorful than rice or potato, and more nutritious, and has more texture as it is a bit chewy, and it is very easy to simmer/cook.
Can season it however you like, or accompany any foods, that you like.
Hot or cold.

Sounds delicious but alas, I'm allergic to tomatoes.

Someone at my work used to make this and it was great. You can buy the bulgar at a bulk store. You don't have to add scallions or tomatoes and mine had cucumber. You can google a recipe and adjust it to your taste. Tabbouleh is also good in a wrap with meat and/or veggies. Enjoy!

optional ingredients:
chopped peeled and seeded cucumber
chopped or sliced black olives
thinly sliced scallions

plain yogurt

I make couscous with the same ingredients - sans the yogurt. It's very tasty.

I haven't eaten it in years. Used to make the mix since I'm a lousy cook and don't like to cook. Don't forget falafel either.
I should make this salad.

Bulgar/cracked wheat same thing.
You can make tabouleh w/bulgar...it's just not cooked.
When you cook the bulgar, you've made pilaf. Like rice pilaf.
I just bought ingredients to make a cold bulgar salad. I will be cooking the bulgar first though.
I always have bulgar in my fridge.

Found a box of Near East Tabouleh at the health food store this morning. I know somethings are not made anymore, so I was glad to find it. Haven't had it in years.

I’ve prepared the Near East tabouleh often. It’s easy to fix. Add whatever vegetables you prefer.
