Tabbouleh is tasty, healthy and light. This is a slightly nutty tasting Mediterranean meal that is quick and easy and perfect for the vegetarian in your life.
Ingredients
- 1 cup bulghur wheat or use quinoa or buckwheat
- 1 ½ cups boiling water
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 lemons
- ¼ cup olive oil

- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the bulghur (or quinoa or buckwheat if using) in a large bowl, pour in the boiling water, and add the lemon juice, olive oil, and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Stir, then allow to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.

Notes
The flavour will improve if the tabbouleh sits for a few hours.

One of the best tabbouleh recipes I’ve used, also quick and easy. Used Bulghar wheat and I did add some feta cheese.
