"Safsouf is a rustic Lebanese salad from the Bekaa Valley, blending soaked bulgur with shredded cabbage, fresh parsley, mint, onions, and a zesty lemon-olive oil dressing spiced with allspice. Similar to tabbouleh but heartier, it's nourishing, easy to prepare, and perfect as a starter or side dish. Serve it scooped into romaine lettuce leaves for an authentic touch."
