How to Make Taboule

  1. Combine 1 cup of bulgur wheat with 1 1/2 cups of cold water in a medium bowl. Let it soak for 30 minutes.
  2. While the bulgur soaks, finely chop 2 cups of fresh parsley, 1 cup of fresh mint, 1/2 cup of cherry or grape tomatoes, and 1/4 cup of green onions.
  3. After 30 minutes, drain any excess water from the bulgur wheat.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the drained bulgur wheat, chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, and green onions.
  5. Add the juice of 1 large lemon (or more, to taste!), 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Gently toss to combine.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to fully develop. This step is crucial for the best taste!
  7. Serve chilled. For a fun presentation, fill crisp lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce) with the Tabbouleh and roll them up like tacos.
