Ingredients

1 cup bulgur wheat
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 cup good olive oil
Kosher salt
1 cup minced scallions, white and green parts (1 bunch)
1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves (1 bunch)
1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley (1 bunch)
1 hothouse cucumber, unpeeled, seeded, and medium-diced
2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound feta cheese
4 pita breads, cut in half

Directions

Place the bulgur in a large bowl, pour in the boiling water, and add the lemon juice, olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir, then allow to stand at room temperature for about an hour.

Add the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper; mix well. Season to taste and serve, or cover and refrigerate. The flavor will improve if the tabbouleh sits for a few hours.

Stuff the tabbouleh and feta into the pita breads.

Flavorless
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I didn't add the mint or the feta seeing as I don't care for either and it ended up completely flavorless. It looked so good... on tv but ugh, I had to throw it out. The cardboard-tasting wheat pita didn't help. I guess I shouldn't judge the recipe based on what I left out, but wow, this was a huge letdown considering how much I love tomatoes and cucumbers.Read more

Very Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The flavor of the tabbouleh was great. Although, gettig the bulgar cooked took a little more work than indicated. I added... the lemon juice, olive oil and boiling water but it just wasn't looking cooked after the hour+ on the countertop. I put it in the microwave for 2 mins and that little boost of heat cooked the bulgar just enough so I could finish the recipe. All in all a good one!Read more

Ina hits it out of the park again!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tasted it before refrigerating "several hours to incorporate flavors" and I could have eaten the entire bowl right then and... there. Wow, it was delicious. I have to admit that I omitted the mint (not a big fan) and used crumbled feta. I plan to serve it for dinner tonight with lamb chops. It is absolutely delicious and such a 'change of pace' side dish/salad. I will most definitely be making this again. Thank you, Ina. Read more

I didnt like it at all, I threw it away
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Love Ina's recipes but didn't like this one at all. The mint made it inedible. The rest of the ingredients were fine and... visually it looks gorgeous and healthy. It was just such an odd taste to have mint in this and it ruined it for me. I threw the whole batch away. I may make it again but will leave the mint out. Sorry Ina.Read more

Very easy and tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The bulgur was really good after soaking before I even added the rest of the ingredients. I adjusted the seasoning a bit for... my own taste, a lot less salt, mint. It is quite good, much better than the "real" tabbouleh. Tabbouleh in Persian restaurants is like stuffing a bundle of raw parsley in your mouth. Yuck! I ate this as a salad, not in a pita. It will be a nice cool dish for summer and good to take to a party.Read more
