Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup parsley chopped
  • 5 Tbsp mint chopped
  • 1 Tbsp bulgur
  • 1 small cucumber
  • 2 Tbsp warm water
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 7 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 piece of lettuce

Instructions

  • Mix Bulgur with warm water and keep aside for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the tomatoes and cucumber in half, remove the seeds and drain them. 
  • Cut the tomatoes and cucumbers into very small pieces. 
  • Chop the parsley and mint into very small pieces and keep them aside. 
  • Put the chopped vegetables in a bowl and mix well.
  • Add the bulgur and mix again.
  • Add the lemon, salt, pepper and mix well. 
  • Place Tabbouleh in the piece of lettuce and serve.
  • Enjoy!!

Notes

  • In Arab countries, they normally serve Tabouleh with Falafel, Babaghanoush, and Hummus on a big platter. A perfect combination! 
  • Use fresh crunchy vegetables. This will give you the crunchiness and freshness of the salad.
  • Prior to using soaked bulgur, drain it very well. 
  • Consume immediately. Do leave it for the next day.
  • Chop the veggies as small as possible, by hand. Do not blend them. 
  • Use vegetables from the fringe for a cold salad.
