A refreshing and vibrant Mediterranean-inspired tabbouleh salad, perfect for any occasion.
Prepare the bulgur by soaking it in hot water until tender, then drain any excess water.
Ensure the bulgur is fully hydrated but not overly wet for the best texture.
Dice the tomatoes, chop the parsley and mint finely, and slice the green onions thinly.
Use a sharp knife to avoid bruising the herbs.
In a large bowl, combine the prepared bulgur, tomatoes, parsley, mint, and green onions.
Mix gently to keep the ingredients fresh and vibrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the tabbouleh in a serving bowl, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve with warm pita bread or as a side to grilled dishes for a complete meal.
