Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups fine or medium bulgur
1 1/4 cups water
1 red onion
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
5 cups packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves (about 3 large bunches)
1 1/2 cups packed fresh mint leaves (about 1 large bunch)
1 bunch scallions
1/2 small English cucumber
1/2 pound vine-ripened tomatoes
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine bulgur and water. Soak bulgur 1 hour and 15 minutes. Bulgur may be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Mince enough onion to measure 1 cup and in a bowl stir together with salt, allspice, and cinnamon. Let onion mixture stand 30 minutes. Finely chop parsley and mint. Finely chop enough scallion greens to measure 2/3 cup. Quarter and seed cucumber and tomatoes and thinly slice. In a bowl toss together all salad ingredients with salt and pepper to taste. Salad may be made 1 hour ahead and chilled, covered.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bulgur: For this salad, it's best to use coarse bulgur, also known as pilaf bulgur. It has a slightly chewy texture that holds up well in the salad.
  • Cook the bulgur properly: Be sure to cook the bulgur according to the package directions. Undercooked bulgur will be hard and crunchy, while overcooked bulgur will be mushy.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh parsley.
  • Don't skimp on the dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Use a good-quality olive oil and vinegar, and season it to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Let the salad rest: After you've assembled the salad, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the bulgur to absorb the dressing.

Conclusion:

Bulgur onion and parsley salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright and tangy flavors, this salad is sure to become a favorite.
