Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 527kcal
Ingredients
- 2½ cups Flat leaf parsley finely chopped (see notes)
- 2 medium - large Tomatoes finely diced
- 1 medium Onion finely diced
- ¼ cup Mint leaves finely chopped (see notes)
- ¼ cup Fine burgul
- 2 small Lemons juiced
- ⅛ cup Olive oil extra virgin
- 1 pinch Salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash the fine bulgur in water, strain, and then add it to a small bowl. Pour the lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil on top, give it a stir, and set it aside to allow the bulgur to absorb the juice and rehydrate, doubling in size. It's best to do this before slicing or dicing the fresh ingredients.¼ cup Fine burgul, 2 small Lemons, ⅛ cup Olive oil

Notes
Remove the hard stems from the parsley and mint leaves prior to chopping.
When serving taboule you can either toss the salads using cold dressing with cold produce, or prepare the salad and then refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This is up to you, I personally love to toss and serve immediately.
Enjoy this salad cold with either Mjaddara hamra (Lebanese bulgur and lentils) or with some tofu kabobs. For more serving suggestions see the above article.
