5 steps

Lebanese salad with bulgar wheat, parsley, mint, cucumber and tomato. Good for a crowd, can be made in advance. Approved by Charlotte Hamaoui! You can play around with quantities, but basically it should involve LOTS of parsley (flat leaf is fine if you can't get curly, just harder to mince finely), and more diced ingredients than bulgar wheat. Garlic is optional, and you may like more lemon juice.

Instructions

Step 1

1. Cook the bulgar wheat according to the packet instructions, with a pinch of salt or a tablespoon of chicken stock powder. Fluff it up with a fourth and leave to cool.

Step 2

2. Dice the herbs, spring onions, cucumber and tomato VERY finely. Remove the watery core of the cucumber before dicing. Put the tomatoes in a seive and stir occasionally to drain off juice.

Step 3

3. If making ahead, pile the minced herbs, onions and cucumber on top of the cooled wheat, but don't mix in; cover and store in the fridge until ready to mix before eating. Store the minced tomatoes in a separate container.

Step 4

4. Make the dressing: whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic (optional) and half a teaspoon of salt.

Step 5

5. When it's nearly time to eat, add the diced tomatoes into the bowl, sprinkle over half a teaspoon of salt, and stir everything together well to mix. Then stir in the dressing. Voila!
