Ingredients

1 cup bulgur wheat
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced (about 2 cups)
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup diced red onion
2 cups finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 grilled chicken breasts as an accompaniment

Directions

Place the bulgur into a large heat-proof bowl. Pour the boiling water over it, stir and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender. Drain any excess water from the bulgur. Stir in the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, parsley, and mint. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, lemon juice, zest, cumin, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the bulgur mixture and toss well to combine. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour or more. Serve chilled.

Good basic recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've made a couple of other tabbouleh recipes, and this one is pretty similar. If you need more "zing," a little more lemon... juice and garlic might do the trick. However, some folks might enjoy a huuuuuuuuuge gravy boat of ranch on the side of all their food with some mayo and bacon. Now that's what I call tabbouleh!Read more

Ellie fan
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Marianne in Gilbert, you are misinformed. Ellie has a masters in nutrition from Columbia U and teaches at NYU. You might... wish to purchase her book "small changes big results". Excellent! Apparently the dieticians you are consulting need to know the difference between trans and sat fats. AND no I am not Ellie's mother, just an avid fan.Read more

Saturated (Trans Fat) in all of her recipes
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I have been a long time fan of Ellie Krieger, and I think some of her recipes are great. But they all contain Saturated fat,... which I thought was a no-no. I've spoken to Nutritionists and they have not heard of her and when I sent them some of the recipes, they recommended I not use them. That is very disappointing. Is she really a nutritionist??Read more

ehhh
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Very easy but bland, the cumin in it does nothing, it's a good base for a nice side dish but I think it would be better with... a light italian dressing instead of the lemon mixtureRead more

Bright, delicious flavors.. however i'm not a parsley fan so I substituted it for cilantro. Soooo much better.

a little bland

Definitely needs seasoning. I added chipolte and it was better.
