Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Middle Eastern cuisine | Vegan cuisine | Salad

This is a fairly simple recipe for tabbouleh, a sweet, chewy Mediterranean salad. Everyone who makes it has a different variation.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup bulgur
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 bunch fresh parsley (preferably flat leaf), very finely chopped
• ½ bunch fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
• 1 large diced tomato
• 1 small chopped onion
• ½ tsp salt, or to taste
• ½ tsp pepper, or to taste
• ¼ cup olive oil

Procedure

1. Place the bulgur in the lemon juice and set aside for 15 minutes.
2. When the bulgur is soft, mix all the ingredients together, adding the olive oil last.
3. Toss well, and adjust the lemon juice as desired.

Notes, tips, and variations

• Tabouli is delicious when fresh. The flavor deteriorates if you allow it to sit for some time.
