Arabic spicy tabbouleh salad with bulgur
Contents:
Bulgur – 1 cup
Tomatoes – 2 pcs.
cucumber – 1 pc
Bulgarian pepper – 1 pc
Dill – 10 grams
parsley – 10 grams
coriander – 5 grams
Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
lemon juice – half a lemon

The basis of this salad is bulgur, so first you need to cook it. Rinse the grain under running water several times until clear. Then transfer the bulgur to a thick-bottomed saucepan, pour two glasses of clean cold water and put on low heat. When the water boils, add the salt, mix, reduce the heat and cook the bulgur for about 20 minutes, until the water is completely absorbed. When this happens, add a few tablespoons of olive oil to the pan, mix and leave the bulgur to cool.
You can start cooking the vegetables before the bulgur is almost cold. Rinse them and dry them with paper towels. It is better to use tomatoes fleshy and dense, so that when cut, they do not turn into porridge. If the skin of the tomatoes is thick, remove it. To do this, cut the tomatoes diagonally at the top and immerse them in boiling water for a few seconds, and then in the cold. The skin will separate easily from the pulp. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes.
For fresh cucumbers, cut off the ends on both sides and also cut into small cubes. Cut the bell pepper, remove the middle along with the seeds. Cut the dough into small cubes. Wash and dry fresh herbs. Cut the green onions with a knife or scissors.
Finely chop the greens. Traditionally, a lot of greens are put in the salad – dill, parsley, cilantro. Those who like mint notes in fresh vegetable salads can add a few fresh mint leaves. Put vegetables and herbs in a deep salad bowl. Add the cooked bulgur to the vegetables, salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Mix and serve.
Your Tabbouleh salad is ready. Enjoy its fresh and fragrant taste.
