Tabbouleh is a middle-eastern vegetarian salad that has recently started trending in western society. But if you feel like you’ve missed the boat, have no fear! We’re about to help you jump on this train smoothly and subtly, and no one will even know you were gone. We warn you, though: this healthy and delicious salad is kind of addicting. Here’s how to make it.
Ingredients
- 4 sliced scallions
- 4 diced cucumbers
- 4 diced tomatoes
- 2/3 cup bulgar
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (or juice from squeezed lemon)
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- Salt
Instructions
Let’s start with the salad itself before diving into the dressing. Add the bulgar to the bowl, and then pour about a cup of boiling water over it. Cover the bowl and set it aside.
For the dressing, mix the lemon juice, oil, salt to taste, and cumin in a separate bowl. Don’t stop until you’ve achieved a smooth consistency.
When the soaked bulgar has been thoroughly absorbed, uncover it. Pour the dressing mixture over the bulgar, and mix it up properly. Finally, add the diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and scallions, and mix well until the salad looks ready.
Congratulations, you’re officially done. Serve chilled and enjoy!
