Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bulgur

    Rinse the bulgur wheat under cold water. In a bowl, combine the bulgur with 1.5 cups of boiling water, cover, and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes until the bulgur has absorbed the water and is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the bulgur is cooling, finely chop the parsley and mint leaves, and dice the tomatoes and cucumber. Slice the green onions.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled bulgur, chopped parsley, mint leaves, diced tomatoes, cucumber, and green onions.

Dressing

  1. 4

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the tabbouleh mixture and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Let the tabbouleh rest for about 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
