One of my favorite foods ever...............
 

TABOULEH !!!!!!!

Have you tried this stuff ??
I made it with all fresh ingredients from da garden
and let me tell you, it is divine.

I usually like to make tomatoe salad or cucumber salad or salsa,
but this is a million times better.

You don't have to use the mint, you can use basil or whatever
you have/like.

Your tastebuds will go crazy with joy. I'm tellin' ya. Sooo good.


TABOULEH


2/3 cup bulgur wheat
1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped
1-1/2 cups fresh parsley, chopped
1 large tomato, diced
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
2/3 cup green onions, chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
pinch of salt



Soak bulgur wheat in cold water for 2 hours (or as directed
on package). Drain well, squeezing out any excess water.
Mix all ingredients together in large bowl. Cover and chill.
Serve tabouleh mounded on a bed of lettuce,
lemon wedges and warm pita bread.
Try with crackers or just eat the whole bowl the way it is !!!!
Divine !

yes I have tried it, but I cooked my wheat first because it comes raw in the package, like rice.
Then you let it cool, and serve with any raw veg and herb you want.
Excellent altenative to a cold rice summer salad.

It is very good. I make it all the time. You can basically throw it together in any fashion, no need for the mint or substitute other stuff. I don't care for it with cucumbers. I do go heavy on the parsely and sometimes add fresh garlic.
