Equipment

  • Chopping board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups or scales

Ingredients

SALAD

  • 1⅔ cups cucumber
  • 10 cherry tomatoes
  • 1,5 cups parsley
  • ¾ cup cilantro coriander
  • 1 cup mint leaves
  • ½ cup bulgur or couscous
  • 3 green onions

DRESSING

  • 1 lemon juice only
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 4 tablespoon vinegar I used apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Thinly chop all salad ingredients. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients.
  • Boil a kettle. Prepare bulgur by placing it in a bowl and covering it in boiling hot water. Let steep for 10 minutes.
  • Taste after 10 minutes and add an extra splash of hot water if you prefer a softer texture. Once you're happy with the texture, set aside to let cool in the fridge.
  • Transfer all salad ingredients to a large bowl. Add bulgur.
  • Drizzle with the dressing and mix well.
  • Optional step: place the salad in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to let cool.
  • Remove from fridge and enjoy!

Notes

  • Tip 1 - Tabule salad tends to taste even better when it stands for a day or so (in the fridge). The flavors will meld together, while the herbs and veggies will soften slightly.
  • Tip 2 - It also tastes better when tomatoes & cucumber are in season.
  • Tip 3 - Not a fan of bulgur? Throw in quinoa or couscous instead.
  • Tip 4 - It's worth putting in an extra effort and chopping your ingredients very finely.
  • Spicy! Want an extra kick of flavour? Spice it up with fresh chillies or sprinkle chilli flakes on top.
To storeStore in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Don't freeze.
