  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 Roma tomatoes very finely chopped
  • 1 each English cucumber seedless, finely chopped
  • 2 bunches parsley fresh
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by placing the bulgur wheat in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water over the bulgur, ensuring it is completely submerged. Cover the bowl and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes, or until tender.
  2. While the bulgur is soaking, finely chop the Roma tomatoes, English cucumber, parsley, mint leaves, and green onions.
  3. Once the bulgur is ready, use a fork to fluff it up gently to prevent clumping.
  4. In the bowl with the fluffed bulgur, add the chopped vegetables and herbs. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and season with salt to taste.
  5. Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. For the best flavor, cover and let the tabbouleh chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use the freshest herbs and vegetables for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the bulgur to vegetable ratio according to your preference.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
