Easy Tabouli Salad
Report
This fresh tabouli recipe (aka tabbouleh) is bursting with fresh ingredients. Bulgur wheat, finely diced tomato, cucumbers, scallions, garlic, fresh parsley, and mint, all tossed in a simple zesty lemon dressing. It's the perfect light and refreshing lebanese side dish for so many occasions.

Ingredients
For the Salad:
- ½ cup bulgur wheat cooked per package directions
- 4 large tomatoes seeded and diced into small cubes
- 1 medium English cucumber diced into small cubes
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups fresh curly parsley about 3 bunches, stems removed
- 1 cup fresh mint stems removed
- ¾ cup green onions thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
For the Dressing:
- ⅓ cup olive oil I like extra virgin
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice juice of a large lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bulgur wheat according to package directions. After cooking, fluff with a fork and set aside to cool. You can also place it in the refrigerator to cool quicker.
- In a medium bowl, add the diced tomatoes, cucumbers and salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Using a food processor, pulse one bunch of parsley at a time along with some of the mint until finely chopped. Place it in a large mixing bowl and repeat until the other parsley all chopped. You can also finely chop the parsley and mint with a knife on a cutting board.
- Then add the tomato mixture, sliced green onions, minced garlic, and cooled bulgur wheat into the bowl with the chopped parsley and mint.
Make the dressing:
- In a small jar, or a small measuring cup, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Cover with the lid and shake well to combine, or use a whisk to stir.
- Pour the dressing over the tabouli and toss to combine.
- Chill for 15-30 for the flavors to meld together or until ready to serve.
Notes
- I used regular tomatoes but you can also use cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes. Slice them in quarters and remove seeds if desired.
- You can also use regular cucumbers. But I would deseed them as they typically have a higher water content to them than English cucumbers.
- I used red bulgur but you can use any variety you’d like. You can also quinoa or farro as well.
- Fresh lemon juice is best but you can use bottled if that is all you have.
- Add other veggies like diced green bell peppers or red bell peppers.
- Removing the seeds from the tomatoes keeps it from getting too watery.
