Tabouleh Salad with Feta

From Stephanie Johnson
Graphic Designer/Layout Artist

This healthy and nutritious dish makes a perfect meal by itself or can be served as a side dish next to grilled salmon or chicken. Bulgur wheat can be found in the bulk foods section of your grocery store.

Prepare the bulgur wheat first, so it has time to cool. Bring two cups of water to a boil, add the bulgur wheat and stir. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and place into refrigerator for one hour.

Peel and seed the cucumber. Chop into equal sizes. Chop the tomatoes and red onion into similar sizes. Pick the parsley leaves from their stems and chop fine. Do the same with the mint. Place cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, parsley and mint in large salad bowl and toss.

In a separate bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and dry herbs until it becomes thick.

Retrieve the bulgur wheat from the refrigerator, fluff again with a fork and add it to the salad bowl with other vegetables. Drizzle the dressing on top and fold the ingredients together. Add the crumbled feta last and fold again.
