Strawberry Tabbouleh
- 1 cup Bulgar wheat, medium grind
- 4 spring onions, finely chopped, both white and crisp green part
- 13 cup red onion, very finely minced
- 3 cups finely chopped parsley
- 1 cup finely chopped spearmint
- 13 cup olive oil
- 14 cup apple cider vinegar (or to taste, if you like it tarter)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 12 teaspoon cumin
- 12 teaspoon allspice
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups strawberries, cut into small dice
- 1 12 cups English cucumbers, cut into small dice
- 1 cup firm large tomatoes, cut into small dice (deseeded)
- 12 cup chopped toasted walnuts
- Bring 1 cup of water to the boil and pour over bulgur wheat in a heat-proof bowl.
- Stir in a 1/2 tsp of salt.
- Allow to soak for 30 minutes, until the bulgur is swollen and 'al dente'.
- All the water should have been absorbed and you can proceed with the recipe (if some water remains, just drain and squeeze the bulgur dry with a clean kitchen towel).
- Empty into a large bowl.
- Add the spring onions, red onion, parsley and spearmint to the bowl.
- Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, honey, cumin and allspice and pour over ingredients.
- Toss to coat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to allow ingredients to blend and marry.
- (recipe can actually be prepared up to 1 day ahead to this point).
- Just before serving, add strawberries, cucumber, tomato and walnuts.
- Stir into the salad very gently.
- Check and adjust seasoning (you will need a little more salt and pepper).
- Note1: To deseed a tomato, cut in half and, with cut side down over a bowl, GENTLY squeeze the tomato to get the seeds out.
- Note2: I have added the amount of vinegar that my family liked, but how tart (or not) one likes a vinaigrette is a very personal thing -- add less or more, based on your own preference.
- Taste and adjust.
