Try AllRecipes.com, they have lots of recipes.

Here's my recipe - my family loves it!!! It's quite lemony. Enjoy:-)

1 bunch of parsley, cleaned well and chopped (don't use the ends though)
1 bunch of green onions, cleaned and chopped
3 good size pickles
2 good size tomatoes
1 c bulgar, soaked about 2 hours in warm water and drained
Juice of 6 lemons (or to your taste)
4 T oil
salt & pepper

Combine all ingredients and refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight.

Blech, don't eat that stuff outta the box!!!

Cook tabouli, add chopped parsley (I like to add when sorta warm, it brings out the parsley flavor and really soaks into the tabouli), add chopped tomatoes and finely chopped onions ( use whatever your liking), squirt lots of lemon, use kosher or sea salt and pepper to taste. Let marinate for at least a few hours before eating (in the fridge of course!). Some add chopped mint/spearmint too.

One of my favorite recipes and extremely easy is to follow the recipe on the package with adding water, cucumber, and tomatoes, but then instead of lemon and olive oil, I substitute the same amount of Italian dressing. It is very flavorful.

Hi Mary Jo,
This is not completely homemade but I start with a box of Tabouli Salad by Fantastic Foods.It has more flavor than Near East.In fact so much that I add more plain bulghur wheat to it(about as much or a little less than what's in the box).I follow directions but double the water.Then I add my own vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes and black olives.I have not been able to reproduce the great flavor on homemade recipes. Good luck!

Thanks to all of you for your recommendations.....I have all the ingredients, except I forgot the mint!! I'll try making it from scratch over the 4th of July. Thanks again, all! Mary Jo
