Tabbouleh
A delicious, healthy lebanese salad
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the parsley which is the star of the dish a night before or at least a few hours ahead. This will give it time to drain and dry properly for the salad. Use cold water to washbit so it doesnt wilt.
- 2
Prepare your vinegrette by finely grating ginger and garlic. Mix it with olive oil, lemon and vinegar
- 3
Finely chop the cucumber and tomato. Sprinkle some salt and allow it to bring out its moisture or you can just core the tomatoes and remove the cucumber seeds. I prefer using the baby cucumbers. Chop the coriander, mint and onions or spring onions.
- 4
Boil the wheat. If using finely ground wheat that resembles couscous, you just need to soak it but i am using whole wheat so it needs to be boiled to soften it. Add the vinegrette and mix. It can be served as a side dish or eaten like that. It can keep in the refrigerator for up to four days covered in an air tight container.

Tabbouleh Tabbouleh
This is one of the dishes prepared by my Lebanese friend. While it's troublesome to chop the parsley, I take the extra effort since I want to eat this tasty dish. According to my Lebanese and Syrian friends, American-style tabbouleh has too much bulghur. They imagine it's because it's too much trouble to chop the parsley! They even say that there's too much bulghur in my tabbouleh shown in the photo.Even though it takes extra effort, chop the parsley, mint, and green onion. Using a food processor will give the wrong taste and texture. The final product has a tendency to get watery, so be sure to thoroughly drain the excess water from the bulghur. Adjust the amount of tomatoes to taste. If using regular sized tomatoes, it's best to remove the seeds. It also tastes good with chopped cucumbers. Recipe by Mama Imani

Tabbouleh Salad Tabbouleh Salad
My favourite salad by far and one that I make on a regular basis as it’s so quick yet so tasty. Traditionally this Middle Eastern dish is made with bulgar or cracked wheat but here I have used buckwheat as I like to use up the grains I have in the cupboard. Mildly spiced and an abundance of fresh herbs and a variety of textures and flavours make this colourful dish so appealing. Add anything you have to hand such as radishes, cucumber, to create your own unique tabbouleh.
