No Cook Tabbouleh Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together the (uncooked) couscous, olive oil and lemon juice in a very large bowl.
• Let it rest at room temperature to soften and plump-en-up to an a texture like finely chopped nuts.
• Add the remaining ingredients and stir well.
• Add more lemon juice to taste.
• Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours or so.

Steps:

• Place the bulghur in a large bowl, pour in the boiling water, and add the lemon juice, olive oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir, then allow to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.
• Add the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and the pepper; mix well. Season, to taste, and serve or cover and refrigerate. The flavor will improve if the tabbouleh sits for a few hours.

Steps:

• Place the bulgur in a bowl, and cover with water by 1/2 inch. Soak for 20 minutes, until slightly softened. Drain through a cheesecloth-lined strainer, and press the bulgur against the strainer to squeeze out excess water. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with the garlic, lemon juice, parsley, mint, tomatoes, scallions and salt. Leave at room temperature or in the refrigerator for two to three hours, so that the bulgur can continue to absorb liquid and swell.
• Add the olive oil, toss together, taste and adjust seasonings. Serve with lettuce leaves.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine bulgur wheat with enough boiling water to cover by 1 inch. Season lightly with salt and stir to combine. Cover tightly with a tight-fitting lid and let stand until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well, pressing out excess liquid. Spread out on a baking sheet to cool.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine shallot, mustard, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in oil until well blended.
• Add remaining ingredients to the vinaigrette and toss to evenly coat. Once bulgur has cooled, add bulgur, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss again. Transfer to a large serving bowl or platter to serve.
