Hardest part is finding the right kind of bulgur wheat

One cup of dry bulgur wheat
In a big bowl
Pour boiling water over it just to cover
Let sit a minute
Pour off any excess water

Then fine chop fresh curly parsley until you have about two cups worth

Fine chop Fresh scallions, about one cup worth

Coarse chop two medium ripe tomatoes
Seed them first if you prefer

Mix all ingredients and LIBERALLY douse with lemon juice and olive oil

Salt to taste

In Israel where I learned to make this they also add a cup of chopped Fresh mint but I don’t add that

Let it refrigerate for a couple hours

This stuff is the food of the gods. It is the healthiest food stuff I know. You can actually live on this. It has all the nutrients humans need for a healthy life

Oh yeah, you’re supposed to sing the tabbouli song while you’re making it. It is sung to old Mister Roger’s introductory song for mister rogers neighborhood.

“Tabbouli tabbouli it soon will be tabbouli…” and so on

It's delicious tabbouli…
I prefer it with a bit of mint.
I learned to do this when I was in France and it was back in the previous century.
It was my first trip abroad, almost a year without my family.

Where I work I don't prepare it, but at home I can. Thanks for reminding me about this dish, it's great for warm days.

See now, that’s fascinating
I always thought of tabbouli as the perfect summer food
I guess it’s because parsley and fresh tomatoes are only available in the summer months around here
