Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup bulgur wheat
- 1.5 cups boiling water
- 2 pieces large tomatoes, finely diced
- 1 piece medium cucumber, peeled and finely diced
- 1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup fresh lemon juice

Instructions
Place the bulgur wheat in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the boiling water over the bulgur. Stir once to combine, then cover the bowl with a lid or plate.
Let the bulgur sit for about 10 minutes until the grains have absorbed the water and are tender.
While the bulgur is soaking, prepare the vegetables and herbs. Finely dice the tomatoes and cucumber. Chop the parsley, mint, and green onions.
Once the bulgur has absorbed all the water, fluff it with a fork.
Add the diced tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, mint, and green onions to the bowl with the bulgur and mix well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and ground black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the bulgur mixture and toss the salad until all ingredients are well coated.
Cover the tabouli and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or light meal.
