Bulgur1 cup
Fresh mint0.5 cup
Cucumber1 medium
Red onion0.5 medium
Olive oil0.25 cup
Salt0.75 tsp
Black pepper0.25 tsp

Method

1

Place bulgur in a large mixing bowl and cover with 1.5 cups hot water or vegetable broth. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes until the grains are tender and the liquid is absorbed.

2

Fluff the soaked bulgur with a fork and spread it on a plate to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

3

While the bulgur cools, finely chop the parsley and mint, and dice the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

4

Return the cooled bulgur to the mixing bowl and add the chopped herbs and vegetables.

5

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

6

Pour the dressing over the tabbouleh and toss gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.

7

Taste and adjust salt and lemon juice as needed. Serve at room temperature or chilled, optionally with pita bread on the side.
