I thought this was tasty, but wasn't exactly what I had in mind. The ratio of bulgur to the other ingredients was too much. It seemed like more of a bulgur salad, as opposed to tabouli, where I expect the herbs to shine through more. The lemon overpowered the cilantro so much that cilantro wasn't the main flavor, which is what I was hoping for. That being said, it was good, and healthy. I would make it again and just have different expectations!

Okay since I don't know what authentic Tabouli tastes like, I will give this a 4 out of 5. Maybe my lemons were too big but wowser, it was very lemony. I also used cracked wheat and flat leaf parsley because both bulgar & fresh cilantro are difficult to find in my stores. Will make this again, but cut back on the lemon juice. The recipe also should have stated that the wheat should be cooled before adding the rest of ingredients. I had to put the complete salad in the freezer just to get it cool enough for dinner. Definitely best made early in the day.

What a great idea to use cilantro for this salad, as we are big fans in my family. Today, I was looking for a way to use up my parsley and this was a delicious blend of flavors. Thanks for the 5 star recipe! I look forward to trying it with cilantro next time for a change of pace.

Absolutely delicious! Great way to use cilantro. I substituted the green onions with a little red onion, and a wheat mix for the bulgur. It really was fantastic!!!!!

This is delicious! I made this as stated, with the exception of using 2 tbl fresh lime juice instead of lemon juice. I'm just not a fan of lemon juice.
