…but Tabouli. A  Sam-ified salad.

This meal was made with thoughts of my friend Shannon, who will be spending a month in Greece this Summer.

  • 1.5c boiling water
  • 1c bulgur
  • 1/3c fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1c fresh chopped parsley
  • 4 scallions, chopped
  • 1 16oz can Hunt’s Fire Roasted Tomatoes w/ Garlic, drained
  • 1 16oz can Organic Garbanzo beans
  • 1 hothouse cucumber, chopped
  • 3/4c frozen corn, defrosted
  1. pour the boiling water over the bulgur in a large bowl and tightly cover for 20-30 min.
  2. in another bowl, combine the lemon juice, parsley, scallions, drained tomatoes, garbanzos, cucumber and corn.
  3. when the bulgur has absorbed the water and become a beautiful fluffy bowl of grainy goodness, add the veg/lemon mixture.
  4. add salt & pepper, refrigerate for a minimum of 30 min. for optimal flavor enhancement.

    Ah, tabouli. I think invariably of summer, which, considering the 20 inches heading to NYC tomorrow, is a wondrous feat.

    mmm, I do love bulgur. This makes me think of summer too, and now i’m sad because it’s winter.


  6. I just ordered a ‘premade’ meal from Fresh Direct that was like this recipe..I was really looking forward to it but they used a REALLY strong white wine/vinegar and it was gross. This recipe sounds perfect/easy! thanks for posting it 🙂
