Tabbouleh III

This salad is light and flavorful and chock full of veggies that you can pull from your garden--tomatoes, cucumbers, and green onions. Add lots of parsley and mint and a nice splash of olive oil and lemon juice and that's it. Chill before serving to bring out the flavors. Serves eight.
