Falafel Place
Mediterranean flavours ring clear in this refreshing chopped salad. The bulgar to parsley ratio in tabbouli typically varies according to personal taste.

1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 cup minced cucumber
1/4 cup minced onion
minced garlic to taste
lemon slices for garnish
