Planning to make tabbouleh for dinner, I have never made this before. I see that it requires some time to sit to let the flavors meld together, I was wondering if I made this a few hours in advance and refrigerate it, if it would make it even tastier? Or is there a limit to how much it should rest before it gets too mushy or watery? Thanks! Recipe: https://cookieandkate.com/best-tabbouleh-recipe/ submitted by /u/LogicalHam [link] [comments]
