Lebanese Tabbouleh

Print Recipe

A fresh, vibrant Lebanese salad made with finely chopped parsley, bulgur, tomatoes, mint, and a zesty lemon-olive oil dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (about 2 large bunches)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup fine bulgur wheat
  • 3 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the bulgur in a small bowl and cover with warm water. Let it soak for about 15 minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess water.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the parsley, mint, tomatoes, green onions, and drained bulgur.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  5. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute bulgur with quinoa.
  • Adjust lemon juice and olive oil to your taste preference.
  • Finely chopping the herbs is key to authentic texture and flavor.
