Tabbouleh Salad Recipe
Step 1: Put the bulgur wheat into a bowl, pour on boiling water to cover generously, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the grains swell for 10 minutes. Tip the bulgur wheat into a fine strainer and drain very thoroughly, then return to the bowl.
Step 2: Finely dice the tomatoes and add to the bulgur wheat, along with the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and some salt and pepper. Mix well, using a fork, and then let the bulgur soak up the juices and soften a little more. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Step 3: Meanwhile, mince the green onions and roughly shred the parsley and mint leaves with a sharp knife. When you are ready to serve, fold the herbs through the bulgur wheat and garnish with a scattering of pomegranate seeds, if you wish.
