Ingredients

1 cup bulghar wheat1 1/2 cups water1 tsp. salt (not calculated in recipe) - more or less according to your tastejuice of 1 large lemon1 large garlic clove, crushed (fatter than your thumb, or 2-3 smaller ones)1/2 tsp. dried mint1/4 cup extra virgin olive oilfresh ground black pepperFollowing veggies chopped (as needed per size):1 large cucumber2 large tomatoes2 stalks celery2 carrots1 can garbanzo beans1 small can sliced olives

Directions

The only "cooking" is boiling the water. Put bulghar and salt in large bowl and boil water in microwave. Pour boiling water into bowl. Cover for 20 min. while you prep vegetables. Add lemon juice, garlic, oil and mint and mix. Marinate for 30 minutes to let flavors mix, then add chopped vegetables. Refrigerate.

After the tabouli sits overnight, some liquid will drain. To reduce calories, pour off excess liquid.

A single serving on top of plain leaf lettuce or any other greens of your choosing makes for a nutritious vegan salad and no dressing is needed.

Serving Size:�18 servings based on 1/2 cup per serving
I made servings intentionally smaller so you can choose how much to eat. One serving is a good healthy side dish - three servings makes for a filling meal all by itself.
