Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 70 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.25 Cups bulgur
• 0.5 Cups boiling water
• 5 Whole ripe tomatoes, minced
• 1 Small onion, minced
• 1 Cups parsley, minced
• 0.25 Cups mint leaves, minced
• 1 Whole lemon, juiced
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) olive oil
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste

Steps

1. Prepare the Bulgur: Place the bulgur in a small mixing bowl. Pour the boiling water over the bulgur, stir, and cover with a clean towel. Let it stand for 1 hour to absorb the water and soften. Drain any excess water.
2. Mix the Vegetables and Herbs: In a large bowl, combine the minced tomatoes, onion, parsley, and mint leaves.
3. Add the Dressing: Pour the lemon juice and olive oil over the vegetable mixture. Season with a pinch of salt to taste, and toss everything together to ensure even coating.
4. Combine and Serve: Add the soaked and drained bulgur to the vegetable mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
5. Chill and Enjoy: For best results, refrigerate the tabbouleh for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
