Tabbouleh Salad

Giora Shimoni
Tabbouleh Salad, a combination of bulgar wheat, vegetables and herbs, is a light, tangy and refreshing salad that is especially popular in the homes of Sephardic Jews. For a Sabbath appetizer, serve Tabbouleh on individual plates on top of a piece of lettuce. For a summer cookout, serve Tabbouleh Salad as a side dish next to Shish Kebabs.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup bulgur (or cracked wheat)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 3 firm tomatoes, cubed small
  • 1 large cucumber, cubed small
  • 2-3 scallions, diced small
  • 1 cup parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped (optional)
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh ground pepper

Preparation:

1. Place bulgur in a large mixing bowl. Pour 1 cup boiling water over the bulgur.
2. Let stand for about 1/2 hour, or until all water is absorbed.
3. Drain well, squeezing out any excess water. You can use a sieve and remove excess moisture by pressing down with the back of a spoon.
4. Add tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, parsley, and mint (optional) to bulgur.
5. Season with oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
6. Refrigerate, covered, a few hours or overnight.
