A refreshing and vibrant Mediterranean-inspired tabouli salad, perfect for any occasion.
Soak the bulgur wheat in cold water for about 2 hours until tender.
Ensure the bulgur is fully submerged in water for even soaking.
Drain the soaked bulgur wheat using a fine-mesh strainer and let it sit to dry.
Toss the bulgur occasionally to help it dry evenly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, dried mint, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, olive oil, and black pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Chop the parsley, scallions, and tomatoes into small pieces.
Use a sharp knife for precise and clean cuts.
Combine the bulgur wheat, chopped vegetables, and dressing in a large bowl and toss well.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the tabouli in a serving bowl and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve chilled for a refreshing taste.
