Tabbouleh

Ingredients

For 4 portions

• 🌾 100g bulgur
• 🌿 60g parsley
• 🌿 15g fresh mint
• 🍅 3 medium tomato
• 🥒 150g cucumber
• 🧅 3 medium spring onions
• 🍋 4 Tbsp lemon juice
• 🏺 4 Tbsp olive oil
• 🧂 0.5 Tsp salt

Method

1. Place the bulgur in a bowl, cover with boiling water by about 2 cm and leave for 15–20 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water and fluff with a fork. Leave to cool.
2. Finely chop the parsley and mint (this is the heart of the salad – be generous). Dice the tomatoes and cucumber; thinly slice the spring onions.
3. In a large bowl combine the cooled bulgur, herbs, tomatoes, cucumber and spring onions.
4. Dress with the lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Toss well and taste – it should be bright and herby. Adjust lemon or salt if needed.
5. Serve at room temperature.
