Traditionally, tabbouleh is made with bulgur, a "cereal food made from the groats of several different wheat species, most often from durum wheat." Sounds so dry and boring. So jazz up your tabbouleh with a happy helping of couscous instead. It'll feel lighter and most likely will soak up the flavors better.
