Taboule Salad

Submitted by: Lisa

Ok. If someone came up to you and asked if you wanted to try some Taboule salad, what would you say? I said "Well, what is it?"... the answer : "Wheat Bulgur". Me: "ick. "

Seriously, does that sound appetizing at all? No, not really. Well, because of the peer pressure of my co-workers and the fact that I liked the lady who brought it, I broke down and tried it.

Yum. The key is to never utter the word "Bulgur" when talking about food you want people to taste. : )

Now, this takes like 1/2 hr to make. The wheat bulgur has to soak up the water for 30 min, then you add in the rest of the ingredients and you are done! Great for a pot luck or a nice light healthy lunch.

Ingredients:

1 box of Taboule mix wheat salad by Near East (I found it by the boxed rice mixes)

1 cucumber chopped and seeded

1 tomato diced

1 container crumbled Feta cheese

olive oil about 3 tbsp

lemon juice 2 tbsp

basil 1/4 cup chopped

Follow the box directions for making the Taboule then mix in the rest!
