Pomegranate Tabbouleh

I adore Middle Eastern food and my hubby jokes we should go live there for a few years so I can get my fill :-). Tabbouleh is a wondefully healthy salad, that is easy to put together it uses bulgur wheat a whole grain with a light nutty taste. I have been enjoying pomegranate lately and figured why not add to tabbouleh it was delicious and I plan to make it again this week, always a good sign. 

Ingredients:

makes 3 servings 

• one cup of cooked bulgur wheat 
• 1/2 cup of fresh parsley chopped 
• 1/2 a pomegranate (seeds removed)
• one small tomato chopped
• 1/2 a cucumber chopped
• salt and pepper to taste 
• 1/2 a fresh lemon squeezed
• one teaspoon of olive oil
• a few mint leaves chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon of za'atar 

Method:

1. cook the bulgur wheat as directed I found one that only needed to have hot water added for 30 minutes, sometimes I will make it and keep in the fridge to have on hand to make the salad
2. simply add all the ingredients to a large bowl and toss 
3. enjoy it makes a lovely light lunch

and just to make you smile here's a pic Jasmine took of herself with the computer :_) 

Have a great start to the week everyone :-)
