Lebanese Tabbouleh salad { vegan }
Report
This super-healthy tabbouleh salad is easy to make and packed with flavour. I have stuck pretty close to the authentic Lebanese recipe with a couple of minor twists.

Ingredients
- 1 cup | 200g fine bulgur wheat
- 2 cups | 500ml boiling water
- 1 lemon halved
- 1 large bunch flat leaf parsley
- 3 tbsp mint finely chopped
- 1 red onion finely diced
- 3 large tomatoes
- 1/2 large cucumber
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/4 cup virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baharat spice mix
Instructions
- Prepare your bulgur wheat by placing in a bowl and topping with the boiling water plus the juice of half a lemon. Cover the bowl and set aside for 15 minutes while you prepare your vegetables.
- Once the bulgur wheat has absorbed most of the water, drain of excess water and fluff up with a fork.
- Seed the tomatoes, cucumber and bell pepper. Chop all your vegetables into small, even cubes.
- Rinse the parsley and pat dry. Finely chop the parsley, discarding the stalks.
- Add all the vegetables, pomegranate seeds, bulgur wheat and herbs into a large bowl.
- Add the olive oil, juice of remaining half lemon, pomegranate molasses, baharat and salt and give everything a good mix. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Chill the salad until ready to serve.
Notes
- Try replacing the bulgur what with couscous, quinoa or farro.
- You can vary the ingredients according to your preference – I haven't used any garlic but you can add 1 minced clove if you like.
- Add crumbled feta cheese or grilled chicken for a more substantial salad.
- Increase the lemon jjuice if you like it really tart!
