Lebanese salad
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. Lebanese salad is a Mediterranean dish made with a special type of wheat grain called bulgur, finely chopped parsley, tomato, and onion, dressed with olive oil and lemon juice. Other ingredients may vary—often additional herbs and spices are added. Bulgur isn't boiled; it's soaked in hot water and left to steep. A generous amount of parsley and herbs is used. Don't hesitate to try this salad—it's not only very healthy and delicious, but also extremely easy to prepare. I'll explain in detail. Garnish as desired and serve.
