how can I make tabbouleh?Tabbouleh is a refreshing salad that originates from the Levant region of the Middle East. It is traditionally made with bulgur wheat, parsley, tomatoes, mint, onion, and dressed with olive oil and lemon juice. Here’s a simple recipe for making tabbouleh:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup bulgur wheat
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 2 cups chopped parsley
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Place the bulgur wheat in a large bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender.
- Once the bulgur is ready, add the chopped parsley, tomatoes, mint, and onion to the bowl and toss together.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until coated.
- Let the tabbouleh chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
