Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup fine bulgur (such as Near East brand, available at many supermarkets)
3/4 cup minced red onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1/3 cup minced fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup finely chopped scallion
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup finely diced seeded cucumber
1 cup finely diced seeded tomato

Steps:

  • In a bowl wash the bulgur in several changes of cold water, letting it settle to the bottom before pouring off most of the water, until the water is clear and drain it in a large fine sieve. Return the bulgur to the bowl, add enough cold water to cover it by 1 inch, and let the bulgur soak for 1 hour.
  • While the bulgur is soaking, in a large bowl stir together the onion, the salt and the allspice and let the mixture stand for 30 minutes. Drain the bulgur in the sieve, pressing hard to extract as much water as possible, add it to the onion mixture with the herbs, the scallion, the lemon juice, the oil, the cucumber, the tomato, and salt and pepper to taste, and toss the salad well.

Overall, I thought this Basil Tabbouleh was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There are too many ingredients and steps involved. I think I'll try a simpler tabbouleh recipe next time.

This Basil Tabbouleh is a great way to use up fresh herbs from the garden. It's a light and refreshing side dish that's perfect for summer gatherings.

Not a fan. The tabbouleh was too dry and the flavors didn't really come together. I won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tabbouleh turned out too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this recipe was to make. I'm not a big fan of cooking, but I was able to whip this up in no time. The tabbouleh was also very flavorful and refreshing. I'll definitely be making this again!

Meh. I followed the recipe exactly and the tabbouleh turned out dry and tasteless. I won't be making this again.

Not bad, but not amazing either. I found the tabbouleh to be a bit bland and the basil flavor was a bit too strong for my taste. I think I'll stick to my traditional tabbouleh recipe next time.
