Tabouli Salad

Description:

Description: The best salad in the world, as far as my mom is concerned. Extremely healthy. Great on a hot summers day.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup bulgur wheat
2 clove garlic crushed
3 whole lemons juice
1 bunch mint fresh
8 bunch parsley large bunches,8 cups chopped
4 whole scallions both white and green parts sliced thin
3 whole tomatoes ripe, diced
salt to taste
black pepper freshly ground , to taste
olive oil optional, highly recommended for taste. Tablespoon to a quarter cup

Instructions:

Cover bulgur with warm water and soak for 15 minutes. Squeeze out excess water. Mix in the lemon juice, crushed garlic , salt and pepper. Allow this to rest until bulgur is soft, about 30 minutes.

Wash the mint and parsley well and dry it. Chop parsley and mint finely using a knife or food processor (if using a food processor it helps to use the pulse in order to prevent chopping to fine and turning the herbs to a puree).

Combine the mint, parsley, scallions and tomatoes and bulgur mixture . Toss with olive oil as desired. Add lemon juice,salt or pepper as desired to adjust the taste.

Serve with small romaine lettuce leaves, use them as scoops.
