Easy Tabouli!

Tabouli brings your backyard barbeque from bland to sophisticated - and its foolishly easy to make.  Not to mention its the perfect accompaniment when your meal is yearning for a (HEALTHY!) starch.


1. In a large bowl mix 5 ounces uncooked bulgar wheat, 1/2 cup fresh parsley, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp cumin, 2 tsp garlic, 2 tsp fresh basil, 1 tsp onion salt

2. Pour 1 cup of boiling water on top and mix and cover with a lid.  Leave out to cool for 30 minutes

3. After cooled, add 1 tsp olive oil, half of a squeezed lemon (or 2 tsp lemon juice), chopped garlic, onion, tomato (or sundried tomato is better!), sweet peppers in any color or variation (i like to hit the olive bar and grab some really sweet red ones!), and black olives

4. Too easy right? I must have skipped a step?  Nope! enjoy :)
