How to Make Lebanese Style Tabouli

  1. Combine 1 cup of bulgar wheat with 2 cups of boiling water. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, then drain thoroughly and fluff with a fork.
  2. Finely chop 2 cups of fresh flat-leaf parsley and 1 cup of fresh mint.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the drained bulgar, parsley, and mint.
  4. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, and 1/4 cup olive oil.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 2 lemons, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Pour the lemon dressing over the bulgar mixture and gently toss to combine.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tanginess, salt for savoriness, or olive oil for richness.
  8. Let the tabouli sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy this refreshing and flavorful Lebanese salad!
  9. Garnish with extra parsley and a drizzle of olive oil before serving (optional).
