When visiting a new Greek Restaurant, I 1st either get their house salad + house dressing and an…read moreorder of Tabbouleh. Or, I go straight for the lamb. Between these 3 dishes you learn just about everything one needs to know about the quality, presentation, and flavor of the food in the restaurant. I opted for Tabbouleh and the Greek Salad. And, honestly, this is some of the best Tabbouleh I've ever enjoyed. For those who aren't familiar Tabbouleh is a Levantine salad made primarily of finely chopped parsley, bulgur wheat, tomatoes, mint, and onion, seasoned with olive oil and lemon juice. It is traditionally served cold and is a popular dish in Middle Eastern cuisine. It's actually one of my favorite foods--when prepared right. Unfortunately due to the spraying and farming practices in the states I stopped being able to tolerate wheat products. However, it's been said that in Mexico the wheat is not so highly processed, so I am trying out the theory. Later: I had no reaction to this grain. It was absolutely delicious and a treat to be able to eat and tolerate without a reaction.
