Ingredients
- 2 cups cracked wheat (bulghur)
- 2 cups very hot water
- 1 cucumber, chopped
- 3 small tomatoes, chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, (8) sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped mint
- 2 cups fresh chopped cilantro or parsley. ( I prefer cilantro)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- *I like to use a food processor to chop up all of the fresh ingredients, it is a lot quicker then chopping by hand.**
- Dressing:
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Directions
- *Soak the cracked wheat in the hot water until the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
- * Drain any excess water, if necessary, and squeeze dry.
- * Combine the salad ingredients, including wheat, in a medium bowl.
- * Mix the dressing ingredients together and stir into the salad mixture.
- *Serve chilled or at room temperature.

I have not tried this one yet, but it looks great. I have had Tabouli in the past and am looking forward to having it soon.

I absolutely loved this and will make it again and again, unfortunately non of the family did, although my son said he would try it again if I didn't put so much garlic in. It kept really well in the fridge and went well with everything. The one thing I would say is the flavour develops the longer you have it so is probably best made the night before.
The only amendment I made was to put sesame oil in rather than olive oil it was accidental but I'd use it again when I make it as I wouldn't want to change a thing I just love thisI've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation
