Ingredients

Directions

  • Combine water and bulgur in a small saucepan. Bring to a full boil, remove from heat, cover and let stand until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender, 25 minutes or according to package directions. If any water remains, drain bulgur in a fine-mesh sieve. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool for 15 minutes.

Flavorful I loved this! It's a lot of cutting but I believe it's worth it. I've made it several times and like it a lot more without the cucumber which I think waters down the flavor. Read More

Best online tabbouleh I've found I've tried several times to make a tabbouleh as tasty as one of my co-workers makes and I've always come up way short....until now. This recipe really works and I think the balance of cucumbers and bulgur to parsley make the difference for me. It tastes yummy and healthy not just healthy and meh. Pros: yummy healthy Cons: time-consuming Read More

excellent dish easy to prepare. I substituted Israeli couscous as I did not have bulgar wheat on hand. Read More

I find that cooking the bulgar makes it mushy. Instead soak it for 30 minutes then squeeze all the excess out. I like the texture much better. Read More

Delicious but too much prep This was a wonderful tabouli I enjoyed every bite I ate. All the fine chopping will probably keep me from making this salad again for a long time. It took me 45 minutes to make and I am not a novice cook. Pros: Easy fresh and delicious Cons: Too much chopping Read More

Easy and Yummy This was very easy and fast to make at least the active time part since I soaked the bulgur in the same amount of hot water instead of boiling it and so had to wait 30 minutes for it to become tender and absorb the water. I also added a bit more lemon juice than the recipe asks for because it was too mild for my taste (I'm used to very tangy salad dressings). Then I served it with grilled chicken cutlets and the whole thing tasted like summer holidays =) Pros: Very easy can be made a day ahead yummy and fresh Cons: Wouldn't be as interesting during winter Read More
