I love this interpretation of tabouli. If you are concerned about the price of pine nuts, remember that this feast is based on vegetables, and therefore is very inexpensive to prepare. If you want a regular tabouli, rinse 1/2 cup (120 ml) fine bulgar in a sieve, drain well and add to the salad just before tossing with the dressing.
