Really cool. I like how you used the bulgur here...I've only tried boiling them, but soaking them in lemon juice is smart. Also, I've never used pomegranate molasses in a tabbouleh before, but that will also change.
Pomegranate molasses will add a depth of flavor and a really nice tanginess. We use it a lot for similar recipes in Turkey.
