Description
This tabouli salad recipe with cherry tomato confetti is a vibrant, fresh, and zesty side dish, perfect for weeknight meals or special gatherings, and can be made ahead of time. It’s a wholesome, family-friendly choice that brightens any table.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fine bulgur wheat
- 1 large bunch fresh parsley, flat-leaf variety, finely chopped
- 0.5 bunch fresh mint, finely chopped (peppermint or spearmint)
- 1 pint (2 cups) cherry tomatoes, halved (firm, bright red)
- 1 cucumber, finely diced (English or Persian cucumbers)
- 0.5 red onion, very finely minced
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil (good quality, fruity)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup hot water, for bulgur
Instructions
- Prepare Bulgur: Place 1 cup fine bulgur in a medium bowl. Pour 1 cup hot water over it. Let sit for 15-20 minutes until tender and swollen. Fluff with a fork, then drain thoroughly (ensure it’s not dry, stir in 1-2 Tbsp water if needed).
- Chop Ingredients: While bulgur soaks, finely chop parsley and mint. Dice cucumber and mince red onion. Halve cherry tomatoes.
- Combine Salad: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the fluffed bulgur with chopped parsley, mint, diced cucumber, minced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Whisk Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Dress And Chill: Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss gently until evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
Always use the freshest, most vibrant herbs and good quality olive oil for the best flavor. Ensure herbs are completely dry after washing and bulgur is thoroughly drained to prevent a watery salad. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. (Optionally, add finely grated carrot for extra hidden veggies).
