How to Make Tabouleh
- Combine 1 cup of bulgur wheat with 1 ½ cups of warm water in a large bowl. Let it soak for 30 minutes.
- While the bulgur soaks, finely chop 1 large cucumber (about 1 ½ cups chopped), 1 cup of finely chopped fresh parsley, ½ cup of finely chopped fresh mint, and 2 large tomatoes (about 2 cups chopped after seeding and coring).
- After 30 minutes, drain the bulgur wheat in a fine-mesh sieve. Press out excess water with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Finely chop ½ small red onion (about ¼ cup chopped).
- In a large bowl, combine the drained bulgur, cucumber, parsley, mint, tomatoes, red onion, and the juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons).
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Gently toss to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Let the flavors meld for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve chilled alongside hummus, falafel, and pita bread for a complete Mediterranean feast!
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of sumac for an extra layer of flavor.
