Description

A vibrant and fresh herb salad loaded with parsley, mint, and a hint of bulgur, dressed with lemon and olive oil.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large bunches fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup (40g) fine bulgur wheat
  • 3 ripe Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
  • 56 scallions, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Soak the bulgur in lemon juice. Place the fine bulgur in a small bowl and pour lemon juice over it. Stir once and leave to soak for 20–30 minutes.
  2. Wash and completely dry the herbs. Wash parsley and mint, then dry thoroughly.
  3. Chop the parsley by hand, ensuring to remove all thick stems and chopping into fine pieces.
  4. Prepare the tomatoes by seeding and finely dicing them.
  5. Combine everything except the salt in a large bowl. Add parsley, mint, tomatoes, scallions, and bulgur, drizzled with olive oil. Toss gently.
  6. Add salt and mix once more. Taste and adjust as needed.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Better if made several hours in advance. Tabbouleh will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Drain excess liquid before serving.
