Tabbouli - Perfect Dressing

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup bulgur (soaked in boiling water for 1-2 hours)
• 3-4 spring onions
• 1/3-1/2 green peppers or red capsicums
• 1-2 cup chopped parsley
• 1/3-2/3 cup chopped mint (1/3 to 1/2 the amount you are using for the parsley)
• 1/2-1 chopped lettuce (if you want)
• 1-2 tomatoes
• 1-2 tablespoon sliced black olives (if you want)

Dressing

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 9 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon mixed spice
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Rinse and chop mint and parsley and lettuce (draining well). Mix together.

2. 2

   Chop spring onions and tomatoes and olives and add to mixture.

3. 3

   Drain as much moisture out of bulgur as possible and add to salad mix.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl mix dressing. I really recommend you use the quantities above, then check seasoning before pouring it over the salad.

5. 5

   Enjoy!

6. 6

   If you don't have bulgur (or bourghul), you can used some cous cous which has soaked in chicken stock. It has the same over all effect, but doesn't have the crunch.
