Tabouli


Sorry, I have been a horrible blogger lately, but between, school, work and my gimpy foot I have been a little busy....will try to do better. It was the hottest day of the year so far (think it got to 104) and really wanted something lite and tasty and then it hit me...tabouli! Sorry the pic is a little blurry, but it is the best out of four.

For my particular version this evening, I used 1 2/3 cup of bulgur in a glass bowl and poured in 1 2/3 cup of boiling water. I covered with a tea towel and let sit until water was absorbed and bulgur was cooled. I added one and a half medium tomatoes, a handful of mint and parsley, about 4-5 Tbs of olive oil, about 4 Tbs of lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. This really is much better if refrigerated overnight, but I had to eat it tonight.
