Traditional Middle Eastern tabbouleh is more about the mint and herbs than the bulgur grains. The longer this salad sets, the better it gets, so make it up to a day ahead.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup fine bulghur
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon honey
  • 1⅓ cups finely chopped pistachios
  • 1 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 1 small cucumber, chopped fine
  • 1 medium tomato chopped fine
  • 4 green onions chopped fine
  • ½ cup mint chopped fine
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions
