Preparation Time: 20 minutes


Cooking Time: 0 minutes


Resting Time: 30 minutes


Total Time: 50 minutes


Serving: 4

Ingredients:

- 1 cup bulgur wheat


- 3 large bunches of fresh parsley, finely chopped


- 4 medium tomatoes, finely diced


- 4 green onions, thinly sliced


- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped


- 1/4 cup lemon juice


- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil


- Salt and black pepper to taste

Method:

- Prepare Bulgur:

- Rinse the bulgur wheat under cold water, drain, and soak in hot water for about 20 minutes until it softens. Drain any excess water and squeeze out moisture using a cheesecloth or a fine sieve.

- Mix the Salad:

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, and chopped mint.

- Dress the Salad:

- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour this dressing over the salad and mix thoroughly.

- Combine and Chill:

- Add the prepared bulgur to the salad. Toss everything together until well combined. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes:

- Ensure that the parsley is very finely chopped, as this is key to the texture of traditional Tabouleh.


- Tabouleh is best served chilled and can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two days, making it a great make-ahead dish.


- For a gluten-free version, substitute bulgur with quinoa or couscous.
