Not so much the recipe, but the fact that I am posting at all. No excuses, but I will take a moment to hang my head in shame. Now on to business and to summer.
What better to post about on the day before July 4th than a salad recipe? One of our favorites for the summer months is Tabbouleh. Coincidentally I made it on Saturday and most importantly I remembered to take a picture.
Tabbouleh
Serves 6-8
1 1/8 cup Bulgur
Instant Vegetable Broth
2 Tomatoes, chopped
1 Cucumber, chopped
1 Red Pepper, chopped
1 Red Onion, chopped
4 sprigs of Fresh Mint, finely chopped
1 bunch of Flat Leaf Parsley, finely chopped
2-4 cloves of Garlic, pressed
1 Lemon, juiced
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
Add bulgur to 2 1/4 cups of water with instant vegetable broth (to season) and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and add lid. It should be done in 10-15 minutes. Set aside and let cool completely. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, onion, parsley, mint and garlic to a large bowl. Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper in small bowl. Add the mixture to the remaining ingredients and toss.
Enjoy! For those celebrating, Happy 4th of July!
