Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic tabbouleh salad with bulgur? Start cooking by preparing the bulgur. Rinse the cereal thoroughly, changing the water repeatedly until it becomes clear. Read all the details of choosing and preparing bulgur in a separate article. There is a link to it at the end of this recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the bulgur in a saucepan with a thick bottom, cover with clean cold water (two glasses of water for one glass of cereal), and place on low heat. When the water boils, add salt, stir, reduce heat to low and cook the bulgur for about 20 minutes until the water has completely evaporated. When this happens, pour a couple of tablespoons of olive oil into the pan, stir and let the bulgur cool. How to choose a pan, read the article at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the vegetables and dry with paper towels. It is better to use tomatoes that are fleshy and dense, so that when cutting they do not turn into mush. If the tomatoes have thick skin, remove it. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes. All vegetables for this salad are chopped finely.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut off the tips on both sides of fresh cucumbers and also cut them into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the bell pepper and remove the center with the seeds. Cut the pulp into small cubes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash and dry fresh greens. Cut the green onions with a knife or scissors.

7. STEP 7

   

   Finely chop the greens. Traditionally, a lot of greens are put into the salad - dill, parsley, cilantro. Those who like minty notes in fresh vegetable salads can add a couple of fresh mint leaves.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place vegetables and herbs in a deep salad bowl.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add the prepared bulgur to the vegetables, add salt and ground black pepper to taste.

10. STEP 10

    

    Season the salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Stir and serve. Bon appetit!

I was looking on the website for a recipe that would use bulgur and found a wonderful Tabbouleh salad with classic bulgur. The vegetables used here are familiar to everyone. I cut the cucumbers, tomatoes and sweet peppers into medium cubes. Bulgura took half a glass, washed the cereal well and boiled until tender. I did this in advance to allow the bulgur to cool. This cereal is quite crumbly, so I did not add oil to it. For greens, I had purple basil and parsley. For extra juiciness, I added Iceberg lettuce, which I cut into pieces. The olive oil and lemon juice dressing complements the veggies really well! And bulgur fits perfectly into this juicy and tasty salad!
