Tabouli

Ingredients

• 2 bunches fresh parsley (flat leaf preferrably)
• 1/2-3/4 tomatoes (med to large in size)
• 2 tablespoons onions
• 1/3 cup Bulgar wheat
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/8-1/4 cup lemon juice (to suit personal taste, I usually just squeeze the lemon and adjust it according to my taste, not me)
• 1/2-1 teaspoon mint (dried or fresh)
• 3/4 teaspoon sumaq
• salt (personal choice)

Directions

1. 1

   In a small bowl add bulgar wheat and let soak in approximately 1/2 to 1 cup of very hot water for about 10-15 minutes or until water is soaked up and bulgar and puffed up.

2. 2

   If after bulgar has puffed up and soften there is still water left, just discard water and squeeze bulgar to get rid of any excess water.

3. 3

   This step is very important!First three ingredients must be minced very finely.

4. 4

   In a medium bowl, add all ingredients together and stir well.

5. 5

   If the salad seems dry even though flavorful, either add a bit more lemon juice if in need or a few tbsp of water, then adjust salt e.t.c per taste.

6. 6

   Let sit in the fridge for about 1 hour for the flavors to meld.

7. 7

   Enjoy!
