How to Make Almond Tabbouli Salad

  1. Soak 1 cup of cracked wheat in 2 cups of boiling water for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 hours for extra softness).
  2. Drain the soaked cracked wheat thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve.
  3. Finely chop 1 cup of fresh parsley, 1/2 cup of chopped tomatoes, and 1/4 cup of thinly sliced green onions. Add 1/2 cup of slivered almonds to a large bowl with the chopped vegetables.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil (or almond oil), the juice of 1 large lemon, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Gently toss the drained cracked wheat with the vegetable and almond mixture.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine thoroughly.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or preferably longer) to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy! Makes approximately 2 quarts.
