This juicy tabouleh recipe is what you didn’t know you needed in your life. It’s just the right amount of lemon and is packed with healthy ingredients. It pairs well with so many entrees and is even a satisfying meal all by itself.

This is a refreshing, guilt-free meal and I love that I can just pour it into a bowl and serve it as a healthy last minute lunch or dinner

If you’ve never used bulgur, don’t feel intimidated. It’s a grain that you can find at your local grocery store. All you have to do is soak it in boiling water until it is soft to the bite, about 30 minutes

The boiling water should always be a bit above the bulgur so it always has enough water to soak up

I’m obsessed with Bragg Olive Oil, I use it in everything and Baleine Fine Salt is my go to salt brand

From this..

…to this

After 30 minutes of soaking in boiling water, take two or three pieces of bulgur and taste. If it is soft to the bite, drain water

Transfer the bulgur to a larger bowl

Add olive oil to bulgur

And lemon juice, so the bulgur soaks up all that flavor

Add diced tomatoes, green onion, and parsley

Add salt

Mix very well and transfer to a serving dish or food container

If we don’t have time to make our homemade pita bread, we enjoy tabouleh with these LaTortilla Factory Organic Tortillas that we heat up on the stove as well as romaine lettuce leaves
