My close (Lebanese) friend Ms. Nana Turk introduced me to this wonderful tasty salad. I owe this recipe to her. Since I enjoy Lebanese cuisine, I have learnt quite a few recipes from her.
Ingredients :
| Bulghur wheat | 1/2 cup |
| Parsley | 1 small bunch |
| Fresh mint | 1 small bunch |
| Tomatoes | 3-4 |
| Spring onions | 1 small bunch |
| Capsicum | 1 |
| Lemon | 1 (juice of 1 Lime ) |
| Black pepper | 1 tsp |
| Salt | 1 tsp or as per taste |
| Olive oil
| 1 tsp |
Method :
- Wash & soak the Bulgur wheat in a bowl for half an hour.
- Then drain it completely and keep it aside.
- Wash parsley, mint and tomatoes and chop them finely.
- Finely chop the onions.
- Add all the finely chopped vegetables to the drained bulgur wheat and mix it well.
- Sprinkle black pepper and salt and add the olive oil.
- Toss this gently.
- Decorate it with a sliver of Green Pepper.
- Serves 4
Note :
This is an Arabic/Lebanese salad. As you can see it is very colourful and tasty (take my word for it !) too.
In this recipe, I have slightly Indianised it. Instead of Bulgur wheat, spring onion & parsley, I used broken wheat, onion and coriander leaves.
Romaine Lettuce leaves are also used for decorating this salad.
