Cilantro Tabouli Salad
Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups water
  • 1 cup bulgur wheat
  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced into thin slivers
  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by heating water in a saucepan over high heat until it reaches its boiling point. Next, switch off the stove and introduce the bulgur wheat into the saucepan, ensuring it's fully submerged. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for 30 minutes, permitting the wheat to absorb the surrounding liquid. If excess water remains after this period, it's advisable to strain it off.
2
Then, transfer the bulgur wheat to a spacious salad bowl and gently mix with diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, sprigs of cilantro, minced garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of ground cumin, a few grinds of black pepper, and a sprinkle of salt until the ingredients are harmoniously combined.
3
After this, refrigerate the salad for at least 3 hours to allow the diverse flavors to meld together. Finally, serve the chilled salad cold.
