Ingredients
- 1 cup bulgur wheat
- 1.5 cups boiling water
- 1.5 cups fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup fresh mint, finely chopped

Instructions
Place the bulgur wheat in a large heatproof bowl. Pour the boiling water over it, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate, and let it sit for 10 minutes or until the bulgur absorbs the water and becomes tender.
Fluff the bulgur with a fork and let it cool for a few minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the chopped parsley, mint, and green onions to the cooled bulgur. Mix well.
Gently fold in the diced cucumber, tomatoes, and marinated artichoke hearts.
Add the baby spinach and toss lightly to combine all ingredients evenly.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss again to coat everything in the flavorful mix.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately. Enjoy your vibrant Tabbouleh with Marinated Artichokes and Baby Spinach!
