Ingredients

• 1 cup bulgur wheat
• 1.5 cups water
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Add the bulgur wheat, stir, cover, and remove it from the heat. Allow the bulgur to sit and absorb the water for about 10 minutes, or until tender. Fluff it with a fork and set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, curry powder, ground cumin, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled bulgur wheat, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, mint, green onions, and golden raisins (if using).

Step 4

Drizzle the dressing over the bulgur mixture and toss everything together until well coated.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

Step 6

Chill the tabbouleh in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve cold or at room temperature as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
