Time 3h10m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup tomato juice
1 1/2 cups instant couscous
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup fresh or canned cooked chickpeas
1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes
1 cup peeled, seeded and diced cucumber

Zest of 1/2 lemon
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups tightly packed mint leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup water and the tomato juice to a simmer in a small saucepan. Put the couscous in a large heatproof bowl and pour the hot liquid over it. Add the oil, stir and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, stir together the chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumber, garlic, shallots, lemon zest and juice, mint, salt and pepper. Use a fork to mix the vegetables with the couscous and finish with Tabasco or cayenne to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least three hours and preferably overnight to allow the flavors to blend.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to make it again.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my salad turned out mushy. I think I may have overcooked the bulgur wheat.

I had a hard time finding bulgur wheat at my local grocery store. I ended up using quinoa instead.

The salad was a bit bland for me. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices to taste.

I found the salad to be a bit too lemony for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice next time.

I'm not a huge fan of bulgur wheat, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so good that it makes the bulgur wheat more palatable.

This tabbouleh salad is a great way to use up leftover bulgur wheat. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time, so it's perfect for busy weeknights.

I love the bright and tangy flavor of this salad. The lemon-tahini dressing is the perfect complement to the fresh herbs and vegetables.
