The Easiest Tabbouleh (Tabouli)
Report
With just a few simple steps and ingredients, you'll learn how to make Tabbouleh salad (and how quick and delicious it is). This take on an Eastern Mediterranean recipe combines cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, and bulgur to create a hearty and vegan-friendly dish.

Ingredients
- ½ cup bulgur plus 1 cup water
- 1 cup diced cucumber about ½ medium cucumber
- 1 cup diced tomato about 1 roma tomato
- 1 tsp salt divided
- 3 cups packed Parsley finely chopped, 90 g
- ¼ cup packed mint finely chopped, 10 g
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 60 mL
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice 45 mL
- 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
- Cook Bulgur: Bring bulgur and water to a boil in a small pot, then cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. (Alternatively, use the soaking method - 1 hour.) Allow bulgur to cool slightly.
- Prep Veggies: Meanwhile, stir together cucumber, tomato, and ½ tsp salt. Place in a colander and set over a bowl to allow excess moisture to drain out. Let drain for 10 minutes (or until the rest of the recipes is ready).
- Chop: Remove the thick stems from the parsley and mint, then finely chop (either by hand or with a food processor). Slice the green onion.
- Dressing: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and remaining ½ tsp of salt.
- Assemble: In a large bowl, toss together cooled bulgur, strained cucumber and tomato, herbs, green onion, and dressing.
Notes
- Make it gluten-free by using the same amount of cooked quinoa instead of bulgur.
- Couscous also works well as a bulgur substitute (though couscous does contain gluten).
- Store tightly sealed in the fridge for 4 to 5 days in an airtight container. However, I recommend leaving the dressing off until you're ready to eat it (if possible). This will help it stay a bit fresher.
