Tabouli

This is a quick and fresh dish that is good all year round. I love to serve it with pita chips.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cracked wheat (bulghur)
  • 2 cups very hot water
  • 1 cucumber, chopped
  • 3 small tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, (8) sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh chopped mint
  • 2 cups fresh chopped cilantro or parsley. ( I prefer cilantro)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • **I like to use a food processor to chop up all of the fresh ingredients, it is a lot quicker then chopping by hand.**
  • Dressing:
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  1. Soak the cracked wheat in the hot water until the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
  2. Drain any excess water, if necessary, and squeeze dry.
  3. Combine the salad ingredients, including wheat, in a medium bowl.
  4. Mix the dressing ingredients together and stir into the salad mixture.
  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
