How to Make Bulgur Wheat Tabbouleh With Chickpeas

  1. Combine 1 cup of bulgur wheat with 2 cups of boiling water in a bowl. Cover and let sit for 1 hour, or until all the water is absorbed.
  2. Once the bulgur has absorbed all the water, fluff it with a fork.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked bulgur with 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed.
  4. Add 6 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to the bowl.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Cut 2 medium tomatoes in half through the stem, remove the stem, and scoop out the seeds. Chop the flesh into 1/4-inch cubes.
  7. Dice 1 medium cucumber into 1/4-inch cubes.
  8. Add the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, and 1 cup of finely chopped fresh parsley to the bulgur mixture.
  9. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or olive oil to your preference.
  11. For an extra touch, stir in 1 ounce of crumbled feta cheese just before serving.
