Mediterranean Parsley Salad – Tabbouleh or Tabouli

Step 1

Place the bulgur into a heatproof bowl and cover it with the hot vegetable broth. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes or according to the packet's instructions. Drain well, if you notice that not all liquid has been absorbed. Place the drained bulgur into a large bowl and let cool while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Step 2

Halve the tomatoes and deseed them, if necessary. Chop them very finely. Deseed the cucumber, if necessary, and chop it finely as well. Thinly slice the spring onions.

Step 3

Remove the stems from the parsley and weigh the leaves, you should have about 80 g/ 2.8 oz parsley leaves. Do the same with the mint, you should have about 20 g/ 0.7 oz mint leaves. Chop both kinds of herbs very finely with a sharp knife to avoid bruising them too much.

Step 4

Add all the chopped herbs and vegetables to the bulgar bowl. Mix carefully but thoroughly and add the lemon juice and the olive oil. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper and more lemon juice, if necessary.
