How to Make Herbed Bulgur and Tomato Tabbouleh

1. Soak Bulgur

Place the bulgur wheat in a bowl and cover it with cold water. Let it soak for about 20 minutes until the grains appear swollen and soft. Once the bulgur is ready, drain it well using a sieve, and make sure to squeeze out any excess water with your hands.

2. Chop Herbs and Vegetables

Chop the parsley, mint, and scallions, placing them all into a large bowl. Core and dice the tomatoes into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the herbs.

3. Combine Ingredients

Add the prepared bulgur to the bowl with the herbs and tomatoes. Use your hands to mix everything together thoroughly.

4. Dress the Salad

Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the mixture, sprinkle in some salt to taste, and drizzle with ¼ cup of extra-virgin olive oil. Stir everything together until the salad looks evenly coated.

5. Rest the Salad

Let the salad rest for about an hour to allow the bulgur to fully absorb the dressing and the flavors to meld beautifully.

6. Serve

If desired, garnish the tabbouleh with crisp romaine leaves. Serve as a delightful side dish or a light main course.
