TABBOULI / TABOULI / TABBOULEH SALAD (PARSLEY SALAD)



Tabbouli / Tabouli / Tabbouleh Salad (Parsley Salad) image

A Lebanese friend showed me how to make this back in 1996. It's my mother-in-laws favourite salad and I normally make it on request specially for her. I prefer flat leaf fresh parsley (also known as Italian Parsley) as it's better texture but curly leaf is alright. I normally buy the parsley and spring onions from the supper market prepacked bunches so if your measurements are slightly more or less it's alright, it doesn't have to be exact. The bourghul also soaks a lot of the moisture and I like Tabbouli to be moist not dried that's why there is a lot of lemons and olive oil. Like everything we cook it's all about the palate and who we are cooking for so if you choose to put less oil and lemons then it's ok. Salt and black pepper to taste, so feel free to add less but not to much. The secret to good Tabbouli is that everything should be finely chopped. Enjoy

TABOULI (LEBANESE BULGHUR, PARSLEY, AND MINT SALAD)



Tabouli (Lebanese Bulghur, Parsley, and Mint Salad) image

Tabouli is a Lebanese salad and is often served as part of a meza appetizer assortment, as well as on its own. This is my cousin's recipe, and according to her, you NEVER put garlic in tabouli, and there is no place in it for celery, cucumber, or any of the myriad of other ingredients with which some people like to adulterate it "to make it different". I agree with her wholeheartedly. This doesn't need anything else; just season it well with the salt, pepper, lemon, and olive oil.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup medium Bulgar wheat (#2)
2 -3 bunches parsley, stemmed and chopped, depending on size
1 -2 bunch fresh mint leaves, finely chopped, depending on size, more to taste
2 bunches green onions, chopped
4 -5 ripe firm tomatoes, partially seeded and chopped
3 -5 lemons, juice of, to taste
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, to taste
salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • This recipe is a breeze if you have a food processor, a little more work if you don't.
  • If using a processor, chop parsley and mint together, using a pulsing action, to ensure that you don't end up pureeing them, and remove to a bowl.
  • Repeat with green onions, and add it bowl.
  • Chop tomatoes, preferably by hand, into about 1/4" dice, and add to bowl.
  • If you are making this for company, you might want to chop everything by hand.
  • It makes a much prettier dish than when made in the processor, but I never bother when it is for personal consumption; I just take a little care when using the processor.
  • Wash bulghur thoroughly, drain, and soak in fresh hot water for about 1 hour.
  • Drain and squeeze as dry as possible, and combine with vegetables.
  • Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, and toss thoroughly.
  • You can be quite generous with the pepper.
  • Refrigerate for about an hour, taste, and adjust salt and pepper.
  • In addition to serving a a salad or part of a meza appetizer assortment, it is also good as dressing on a falafel or lamb sandwich in pita bread.

TABBOULI / TABOULI / TABBOULEH SALAD (GLUTEN FREE)



Tabbouli / Tabouli / Tabbouleh Salad (Gluten Free) image

I love Tabbouli but I think I'm sensitive to gluten/wheat, so the traditional cracked wheat version is off-limits. I promise that with this recipe, you wow't event miss the wheat! The substitute is riced cauliflower! So, it's packed with vegetables and gluten-free deliciousness.

Provided by ValFosburgh

Categories     Free Of...

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large bunch fresh curly-leaf parsley
1 medium sweet white onion
3 large tomatoes
1 large head cauliflower
2 -3 tablespoons dried mint
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 olive oil
1/4 lemon juice

Steps:

  • Prepare the cauliflower: Grate the cauliflower until it's "riced" or you may use a food processor Ninja and pulse the cauliflower in batches 10-15 times for 1.5 seconds to rice it. Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe dish and microwave cook for 6-7 minutes on high until soft but not mushy. Set aside and let it cool.
  • Prepare the parsley: pull the curly parsley from the stem and rinse thoroughly. Use salad spinner to spin the parsley dry, repeating 2-3 times and dumping water out each time. Chop parsley finely by hand or use Ninja or food processor carefully on pulse to chop the parsley finely. (Do not chop on high speed as it will juice the parsley and make it mushy.) Dump the parsley into a very large bowl that will be used to mix all ingredients.
  • Chop the tomatoes and onions: Finely chop the tomatoes and onions. Place the tomatoes in a salad spinner or colander and swish around to remove excess moisture, juice and seeds before adding to parsley. Add chopped onions and tomatoes to parsley mixture.
  • Mix and Dress: Add cooled, riced cauliflower to parsley mixture. Top with olive oil, salt, lemon juice and dried mint and mix thoroughly with a large slotted spoon. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Can be served immediately, but it is best made ahead and allowed to chill for a few hours. Better as the days go by!

KALE AND TABOULI SALAD



Kale and Tabouli Salad image

Unlike other tabouli salads using lots of mint, this is bright and refreshing salad uses fresh lemon juice, fresh produce and the addition of seeded jalapeno peppers for a surprising and spicy kick with the earthiness of the kale. A perfect blend of richness and freshness, this salad is surprisingly filling while remaining light and delicious.

Provided by reese.moore13

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 bunch kale
2 cups cracked wheat
2 roma tomatoes, seeded
1/2 cucumber, seeded
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded
2 garlic cloves
1 lemon, juice of
1/2 bunch parsley
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a bowl with hot water and allow the wheat to soak for 10-20 minutes until tender while chopping all the ingredients into proper small dices for easy eating.
  • Remove the thick ribs from the middle of the kale leaves and tear kale into 1/2 inch pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle a small amount of salt onto the kale and massage aggressively for 1 minute until the kale has wilted and becomes fragrant.
  • Add the wheat to a large bowl and add all the vegetables except garlic to make to tabouli. Smash the garlic against the cutting board until a fine paste and add to the lemon juice and olive oil to create a dressing.
  • Dress the tabouli with the garlic mixture and add fresh parsley and salt and pepper and taste. At this point you may add more tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, or jalapeno to taste.
  • Once the tabouli is to your liking, add the fresh kale to the salad and toss.
  • Taste one more time and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving. Unlike other greens, kale will hold its texture, and will become more flavorful over time. This salad may be served at room temperature or left to marinate in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours.
