ingredients

1 cup Bulgar wheat
2 cups boiling water
2 tomatoes, diced finely
4 -5 green onions, sliced
3 tablespoons of fresh mint, chopped
2 cups fresh parsley, chopped
¹⁄₂ cup fresh lemon juice (or more to your taste)

directions

Place uncooked bulgur in a bowl; pour boiling water over it and let it soak for about one hour (stir occasionally). Drain well in a strainer.
Return bulgur to the bowl and add all other ingredients; mix well.
If you like heat, add Cayenne powder to taste.
I also add more lemon; it's up to your taste.
Chill for 2 hours or until the bulgur is soft and not crunchy.

This is basically the same recipe I use although I don't add mint. I do add about a 1/2 of a teaspoon of cumin which adds a nice nutty flavor which is great.

A big hit! The recipe as is would be great! I just added a diced cucumber and a can of chick peas. Yummy!

I added some minced garlic and increased the lemon a bit for a bright and yummy salad. I madly happy about a meal under 200 calories with very low sugar content. Can't wait to try this in summer with fresh mint in place of the dried that I used this time.

Love all the ingredients and I love this recipe. Simple to make and a joy to eat. Thanks, Bonnie Traynor. Made for the All You Can Cook Buffet Special Event.

I had never made tabouli before so I followed some reviewer's reviews. I didn't add mint (can't stand the stuff), forgot the green onions and added cumin and cayenne pepper. Delicious!
