Tabbouleh
Middle Eastern salad made mainly from parsley and bulgur. It's healthy, delicious and refreshing!
Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh parsley leaves
- 50 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 50 grams Bulgur wheat
- 1 Tomato
- 1 Yellow onion green onion is sometimes added as well
- 1 Lemon juiced
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the bulgur wheat and let the water run clear, then let it soak in the lemon juice for at least 5 minutes, but it's preferred if you leave it for longer until the salad is ready and you can mix in the bulgur. It should double in size and before quite soft.
- Chop the parsley and mint leaves finely. I usually remove most the stems especially if they're hard, and work with the leaves. Don't skip the mint leaves, as they add a lot of flavour and give that lovely freshness to your salad.
- Finely dice the tomato and the onion. You could also add a little bit of cucumber if you wish.
- Place all the ingredients in a large bowl, give it a good mix and stir in the soaked bulgur.
- Add olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Taste the salad, and see if you need to add more salt or lemon juice. If it's too dry, add a little bit more of extra virgin olive oil.
Notes
If making a quinoa tabbouleh, cook 100 grams of white quinoa and mix it in instead of the bulgur.
This salad stays fresh for up to 2 days if kept in the fridge.
