Another winner here. I love salads like this. It makes quite a large amount and keeps really well which all leads to making the evening meal a breeze. The barley cooked up perfectly and mad a pleasant change to other grains or couscous. I didn't take a picture as I didn't have quite enough parsley or tomatoes on hand. Tasted gorgeous anyway. Made for Aussie / Kiwi Swap March 2012 and November 2012 Aussie / Kiwi Swap. I hadn't realized until now that I had already made and reviewed it. Still awesome.

Great recipe! I like the texture of barley and it works well for a grain salad. I used all barley because of a wheat allergy and extra lemon with a splash of vinegar to accommodate my tastes.<br/>I can imagine using other grains as well. I put this on a bed of shredded greens and had a delightful lunch.

I subbed all barley for the bulgur. Used vegetables mostly from our CSA box and served with tacos for a Middle Eastern/Mexican feast. Served tabbouleh over mixed greens and some arugula, too. Serving at room temperature showcases the flavors best. Perfect potluck/brunch/picnic salad! Reviewed for Veg Tag/June.

What a refreshing, crisp and super tasty tabbouleh! Mmmm! The veggies all go so well together and make you feel like it was spring time already again. :) Luved the addition of pearl barley! It added a honeylike earthy flavour and great texture. Since I cant have wheat I used millet in place of the bulgur, which worked out nicely. Also I made only half the recipe for my sis and me. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this fantastic recipe with us, Elmotoo! It will find its way into our lunch boxes quite often Im sure! :) Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #21 April 2010.
