Tabouleh (tabouli)

I love tabouleh in the summer (especially with fresh tomatoes); this middle-eastern, vegetarian salad is fairly common in restaurants today, as are the ingredients:

• Bulgur
• Tomatoes
• Garlic
• Onion
• Parsley
• Mint
• Olive oil
• Lemon juice
• Salt

Found all ingredients except mint in my pantry. The best part of this recipe is that it doesn't require any cooking so can be made on hot days without heating up the kitchen. Just pour boiling water (I use my electric tea kettle) over the bulgur and let it sit for 20 minutes until it absorbs all the water; let it cool and then mix in the ingredients. Cool in the fridge for several hours; better the next day.

With all the garlic and onion, be sure to share with someone you love:)
