Recipe of the Week: Tabbouleh


Bulgur is the perfect way to get in a light grain during the summer heat. It is a whole grain mean it's naturally high in fiber, helping to keep cholesterol low.
 
If you haven't tried Tabbouleh salad before, you're missing out! It's extrememly quick to make while giving you the perfect side to grilled chicken, vegetables, hummus, etc.
 
Try this recipe:
 
2.5 cups boiling water
1.5 cups uncooked bulgur
2 cups chopped parsley
1 cup diced tomato
3/4 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped mint
6 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. cumin
 
 
Combine boiling water and bulgur in a large bowl; cover and let stand for an hour. Add remaining ingredients; toss well. Cover and chill for 2 hours.
