I adore Middle Eastern food and my hubby jokes we should go live there for a few years so I can get my fill :-). Tabbouleh is a wondefully healthy salad, that is easy to put together it uses bulgur wheat a whole grain with a light nutty taste. I have been enjoying pomegranate lately and figured why not add to tabbouleh it was delicious and I plan to make it again this week, always a good sign.
Ingredients:
makes 3 servings
- one cup of cooked bulgur wheat
- 1/2 cup of fresh parsley chopped
- 1/2 a pomegranate (seeds removed)
- one small tomato chopped
- 1/2 a cucumber chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 a fresh lemon squeezed
- one teaspoon of olive oil
- a few mint leaves chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon of za'atar
Method:
- cook the bulgur wheat as directed I found one that only needed to have hot water added for 30 minutes, sometimes I will make it and keep in the fridge to have on hand to make the salad
- simply add all the ingredients to a large bowl and toss
- enjoy it makes a lovely light lunch
and just to make you smile here's a pic Jasmine took of herself with the computer :_)
Have a great start to the week everyone :-)
