Equipment

1 Salad Bowl
1 small mixing bowl

Ingredients

½ cup fine bulgur wheat
2 cups parsley finely chopped
½ cup fresh mint finely chopped
1 large tomato diced
2 green onions finely chopped
1 small cucumber finely diced (optional)
4 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the bulgur wheat:

Place the bulgur wheat in a bowl and pour over ½ cup of boiling water. Cover and let it sit for 10 minutes until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.

Chop the herbs and vegetables:

Finely chop the parsley, mint, tomato, cucumber and green onions. The key to great tabbouleh is finely chopping the ingredients to allow all the flavours to combine evenly.

Mix the salad:

In a large bowl, combine the chopped parsley, mint, tomato, cucumber and green onions with the cooled bulgur wheat.

Dress the salad:

Pour the lemon juice and olive oil over the salad, and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until well combined.

Let it rest:

Allow the salad to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. This helps the flavours meld together beautifully.
