Share recipe
Description
Tasty twist on a Mediterranean classic. Serendipitous discovery when I didn't have any parsley on hand!
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups water
- 1 cup bulgur wheat
- 2 tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced into thin slivers
- ¾ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
- salt to taste
Directions
- 1. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, turn off the heat, and stir in the bulgur wheat. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes to absorb water. Strain off any liquid left unabsorbed, if necessary.
- 2. Place the bulgur wheat in a large salad bowl, and lightly toss with the tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, pepper, and salt until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate the salad for at least 3 hours to blend the flavors; serve cold.
