Ingredients
  

  • 3 bunches parsley
  • ¼ cup fine burgul wheat
  • 1 roma tomato
  • 3 green onions
  • ¼ cup fresh mint
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Soak the burghul in lemon juice for extra flavor, for at-least half an hour.
  • Meanwhile, wash and dry the parsley. Get rid of the stems and keep the part with the leaves.
  • Chop the parsley as fine as possible.
  • Chop the green onions all the way down to the white parts, also as finely as possible.
  • Chop the mint, tomato as finely as possible and add them to the parsley and onions.
  • Add the soaked burghul, then the olive oil. Adjust lemon juice and salt to taste.
  • Mix well and serve. Bon appetite!

Notes

  • It is recommended to wash the parsley with cold water, and then dry it in the salad spinner to get rid of the excess water. You can also wash parsley a day before so it completely dries for the tabbouleh salad.
  • You can use dry mint instead of fresh mint leaves. Since it has a more intense taste, you will need less dry mint.
  • Look for bulgur in natural food stores, Middle Eastern markets, or supermarkets in the grains section. For this recipe, bulgur does not require cooking.
  • If you want to go on a picnic, you can keep the chopped veggies and bulgur in an airtight container and the dressing in a mason jar. Mix upon serving and enjoy.
  • You can add a drizzle of pomegranate molasses for a tangier taste and a dash of seven spices for extra flavor.
