Description
A bright, lemony Lebanese salad packed with fresh parsley, mint, and tomatoes, perfect for warm weather.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fine bulgur
- 1 bunch flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
- 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Soak the bulgur. Put fine bulgur in a bowl and cover it with water. Let it sit about 10 to 15 minutes until it softens. Drain well and squeeze out extra water if needed.
- Chop the parsley and mint. Wash and dry the herbs really well. Chop parsley finely, then do the same with mint.
- Prep the vegetables. Dice tomatoes small and slice green onions thin.
- Mix all ingredients in a big bowl: parsley, mint, tomatoes, green onions, and bulgur. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Taste and adjust seasoning according to your preference.
- Let it rest in the fridge for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
Serve with grilled meats or as part of a mezze plate. Store chopped tomatoes separately until serving to avoid a watery salad.
