Ingredients
- 50 g fine bulgur (½ cup)
- 2 medium tomatoes (finely diced)
- 1 small red onion (finely diced)
- 3 cups flat leaf parsley (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoon fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
- ½ pomegranate (seeds)
- 1 ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the bulgur in a pan filled with cold water and bring to a boil on medium heat.
- Lower the heat when it boils and gently simmer for 5 minutes or until they are cooked al dente.
- Drain the bulgur and let it cool down while preparing the rest of the salad. When it's cooled down, fluff the bulgur using a fork before adding the rest of the ingredients.
- Wash and finely dice the tomatoes and place them in a large bowl.
- Peel and finely dice the red onion and add to the tomatoes.
- Wash the parsley leaves and let them totally dry before chopping. Make sure you use a sharp knife while chopping the parsley to avoid bruising the leaves.
- Wash, dry, and chop the mint leaves and add to the bowl with tomatoes and onions along with the bulgur, parsley, pomegranate seeds, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, and salt.
- Mix all together until nicely combined, taste, and adjust the amount of seasoning to your taste.

Notes
- Make sure you use a sharp knife while chopping the parsley to avoid bruising the leaves.
- Use extra fine bulgur for Tabouli Salad. If you use larger grain, you need to adjust the soaking time and the amount of water you use soaking.
- Chop your herbs with a very sharp knife to avoid bruising them. Don't use your food processor for chopping herbs.
- Cover and refrigerate your salad for 30-60 minutes before serving. It allows the flavors develop together.
- Use quinoa for a gluten free option.
- You can cook the bulgur a few days in advance and keep it for up to three days until you want to make tabbouleh salad.
