Tabbouleh Salad

by Irene Lindvall


My second recipe for today was another delicious salad. I hadn't a clue what bulgur was, but my bulk section at my wonderful grocery store had it so I didn't have to overbuy. I'd say it's a similar taste to quinoa and it's nice to have another type of salad to add to the repertoire. The only downside to the salad is that it takes at least one hour to make, and the one area I had trouble with was not getting enough tomato juice to drain. I ended up composting most of the seeds, but now I wonder if I let too much liquid go and that is what the recipe called for to mix with the bulgur in step two. It didn't make a difference in the overall taste of the salad, but I think I would've preferred to have more of the tomato juice. Regardless, great salad.

Things I learned from this recipe:

What bulgur is.

I ended up serving the salad over a bed of spinach and shopped carrots for extra veggies.

Would I make this recipe again?:

Yes

The recipe - Another great one from my favorite magazine cookbook.
