tabbouleh

This term refers to a specific culinary dish from the Levant. While it is a noun, it is typically treated as an uncountable mass noun when referring to the food substance in general, though it can be used countably when referring to specific servings or varieties of the salad.

Because it is a loanword from Arabic, spelling variations are common in English, including "tabbouleh," "tabbouli," and "tabouli." It is almost exclusively used in the context of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern cuisine and carries a connotation of freshness and health.
