Oman today_ To prepare a medium-sized bowl of tabbouleh salad, start by soaking half a cup of bulgur wheat in boiling water and let it sit for about 20 minutes until it softens. Then, drain any excess water. Next, finely chop 3 cups of fresh parsley, 1 cup of fresh mint, 2 medium tomatoes, 1 large cucumber, 8 green onions, and 2 small red onions. Place all the chopped vegetables in a large bowl and add the prepared bulgur wheat.
Then, add half a cup of fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Gently toss everything together so the flavors blend well. It’s best to refrigerate the salad for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
You can serve this delicious salad on its own or garnish it with lettuce leaves. The quantities listed are suitable for serving 4 to 6 people, and your tabbouleh will be ready to enjoy with its fresh herbs and vibrant flavors.
