TABBOULEH AND CHICK PEA SALAD
Steps:
- Cover bulghur wheat with cold water by 1 inch above the grain. Soak for 30 minutes. When plump and tender, drain the grains, squeezing out as much water as you can with your hands. Set the grains in a double layer of cheesecloth and squeeze out even more water.
- Combine the bulghur wheat with chick peas, parsley, mint and scallions and tomatoes. In a small bowl combine lemon zest with olive oil and juice; season well with salt and pepper and stir into salad. Add more olive oil or lemon juice and serve immediately.
VEGETABLE TABBOULEH WITH CHICKPEAS
This vegetable-packed salad requires no cooking, other than boiling water to soak the bulgur wheat. Sweet tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers and crisp asparagus provide texture, while creamy chickpeas add heft. A tangy shallot-lemon vinaigrette brightens the dish and soaks into the bulgur as it sits, developing more flavor over time. The salad can be made a few hours ahead; for best results, toss the salad with half of the dressing and reserve the remaining half. When ready to serve, toss with the reserved dressing to freshen it up. It's a satisfying vegetarian main, a great side for roasted meats and fish, or an easy make-ahead picnic dish.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine bulgur wheat with enough boiling water to cover by 1 inch. Season lightly with salt and stir to combine. Cover tightly with a tight-fitting lid and let stand until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well, pressing out excess liquid. Spread out on a baking sheet to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine shallot, mustard, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in oil until well blended.
- Add remaining ingredients to the vinaigrette and toss to evenly coat. Once bulgur has cooled, add bulgur, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss again. Transfer to a large serving bowl or platter to serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your salad.
- Chop the parsley and mint finely: This will help to distribute their flavor throughout the salad.
- Use a light hand with the olive oil: A little bit goes a long way, and you don't want to overpower the other flavors in the salad.
- Season the salad to taste: Start with a small amount of salt and pepper, and then add more to taste.
- Let the salad rest for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Tabbouleh and Chickpea Salad is a delicious, healthy, and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and flavorful salad, give this one a try!
