Tabbouleh (Tabouli) Salad with Bulgur Wheat and Fresh Parsley

Time

  • Prep time: 10 Minutes
  • Cook time: 5 Minutes
  • Total time: 15 Minutes

Key Ingredients Needed

  • 4.2 oz bulgur equals 120 grams
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 oz parsley chopped
  • 0.25 oz mint chopped
  • 4 oz tomatoes finely diced
  • 2 oz onion finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 0.5 oz coriander chopped

Instructions/Step By Step Directions

Step 1: Turn on the “Meat/Stew” setting in the Instant Pot, add 4.2 oz bulgur and 4 cups water. Cook for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the bulgur from water, shake the sieve gently to remove as much water as possible.

Step 3: Transfer the cooked bulgur to a mixing bowl.

Step 4: Mix the bulgur with 1 oz chopped parsley, 0.25 oz chopped mint, 4 oz finely diced tomatoes, 2 oz finely diced onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons olive oil, and 0.5 oz coriander until well combined.

Step 5: Portion out tabbouleh onto serving bowls and enjoy. It can be made in advance and stored in airtight containers in the fridge, ready to serve for the next 3-4 days. Tabbouleh doesn’t freeze well, so it’s best not to make more than you will need at the time.
