  • salt
  • 3-4 tbsp lime juice, or lemon juice depending on preference

  • romaine lettuce leaves to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the bulgur wheat and soak in water foe 5 to 7 minutes. Drain very well. Set aside.
  2. Very finely chop the vegetables, herbs, and green onions. Be sure to place the tomatoes in a colander to drain excess juice.
  3. Place the chopped vegetables, herbs, and green onions in a mixing bowl. Add the bulgur and season with salt. Mix gently.
  4. Add the lime juice and EVOO and mix again.
  5. For best results, cover the tabouli and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. If you like, serve the tabouli with a side of pita and romaine lettuce leaves, actings as wraps or boats for the tabouli.
