Stay cool in the heat of summer with this refreshing tabouli halibut recipe! Tabouli (tah-boo-lee) - also spelled tabouleh - is a grain-based salad from the Middle East, often used as part of a "mezze" or tapas-type meal of small, appetizer-size dishes. The main ingredients are bulgur, finely chopped parsley, mint, tomato, scallion (spring onion), and other herbs with lemon juice and seasonings (black pepper and sometimes cinnamon and allspice). You can make this recipe with couscous instead of bulgur wheat.
