Ingredients

  • 240 g fresh parsley finely sliced
  • 80 g bulgur wheat
  • 25 g fresh mint finely chopped
  • 6 Spring onion (Scallion) finely sliced
  • 2 tomatoes very finely diced
  • 180 g cucumber very finely diced
  • 2 lemons juice only
  • 90 ml olive oil
  • 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the bulgar wheat according to the packet instructions. This will take around 20 minutes.
  2. Put all the other ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
  3. Add the cooked bulgar wheat and mix well again.
  4. Refrigerate before serving (at least 2 hours is best). Give another stir before serving.

Notes

  • Cut the parsley in a slicing motion, rather than chopping.
  • When refrigerating, drain as much liquid as possible.
  • For extra protein, add some chickpeas.
  • For a gluten free option you could make a quinoa tabbouleh instead of using bulgar wheat.
  • Use really ripe and fresh tomatoes in this dish, as you will really taste the difference.
  • For best results, put the tabbouleh in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the flavours to come together.
