Asparagus and pomegranate seeds are a fun addition to this easy tabbouleh recipe. Serve this healthy whole-grain side with chicken kebabs, tzatziki and pita bread for a Middle Eastern-inspired dinner.

Delicious addition to spring meals My only critique of this is that pomegranate seeds aren't really available around here in spring. Maybe they are elsewhere, but I did not find them. I substituted chopped dried cranberries instead. This tabbouleh is fresh and otherwise a great addition to a spring meal. Pros: Bulgur easy to use, fresh Cons: Pomegranate seeds impossible to find in spring
