Success: Tabouli Salad

Sunday, November 18, 2012

I'm pretty much in love with tabouli. I've taken this recipe from epicurious and done some modifications per the commenters.

Ingredients

• 3 bunches finely chopped flat leaf parsley
• 1 cup chopped fresh mint
• 1 cup bulgur
• 1 chopped firm tomato
• 1/2 onion (I prefer sweet onions
• 1/2 cup extra Virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons' worth)
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Boil the 1 cup of bulghur for 20 minutes and drain.
• While the bulghur drains, place the chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
• Stir the bulghur into the bowl.
• Add the chopped parsley, mint, and olive oil. Stir.
• Add additional lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Serve cold, with either pita or lettuce leaves.
