Tabbouleh is a traditional Middle Eastern-style grain salad that usually features bulgur wheat, tomatoes, parsley, and mint. This version is especially high in fiber because it has lentils in addition to the bulgur. Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried lentils |
2 cups water |
1 cup uncooked bulgur |
2 cups boiling water |
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice |
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley |
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint |
1 cup cherry tomato halves |
1 cup sliced canned artichoke hearts, drained |
1 cup diced seeded peeled cucumber |
1/2 cup minced red onion |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
Directions:
1. Combine lentils and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 40 minutes or until lentils are tender. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. Combine bulgur, boiling water, and lemon juice in a medium bowl; cover and let stand 30 minutes. Add bulgur mixture, parsley, and next 8 ingredients to lentils; toss well. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes.
