How to Make Tabbouleh Wheat And Herb Salad

  1. Rinse 1 cup of bulgur wheat and soak in 2 cups of cold water for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until softened.
  2. Drain the bulgur wheat thoroughly. Use your hands and paper towels to squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
  3. Finely chop 2 cups of fresh parsley, 1 cup of fresh mint, 1 large cucumber (diced), and 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes (halved).
  4. In a large bowl, gently combine the drained bulghur, chopped parsley, mint, cucumber, and tomatoes.
  5. Line a serving bowl with fresh romaine or grape leaves (optional).
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  8. Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
