Steps:
- Wash the bulgur wheat and soak it in water for 5-7 minute. Drain very well (squeeze the bulgur wheat by hand to get rid of any excess water). Set aside.
- Very finely chop the vegetables, herbs and green onions as indicated above. Be sure to place the tomatoes in a colander to drain excess juice.
- Place the chopped vegetables, herbs and green onions in a mixing bowl or dish. Add the bulgur and season with salt. Mix gently.
- Now add the the lime juice and olive oil and mix again.
- For best results, cover the tabouli and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. If you like, serve the tabouli with a side of pita and romaine lettuce leaves, which act as wraps or "boats" for the tabouli.
- Other appetizers to serve next to tabouli salad:Hummus; Baba Ganoush; or Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

CRACKED WHEAT SALAD WITH GREEN OLIVES AND GOLDEN RAISINS
Steps:
- Place the wheat berries, a sprinkling of salt, and enough water to cover them by 2 inches in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the wheat berries are tender but not mushy, about 45 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, place the bulgur in a large bowl and cover with 1 1/2 cups of steaming hot water. Let it sit about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is soft. (I always taste it; the bulgur shouldn't have any crunch or hard edges.) Add the cooked wheat berries to the bulgur.
- Whisk together the citrus zests, juices, olive oil, kosher salt, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Add the dressing to the grains and toss well. Add the parsley, mint, cilantro, olives, raisins, and celery hearts, and use a rubber spatula to combine enough to moisten all ingredients. Taste again for seasonings, adding additional salt, citrus juice, or olive oil as needed.
MEDITERRANEAN CRACKED WHEAT SALAD
This is a recipe I found while looking for a good Tabbouleh recipe. I'm always altering it by adding sun dried tomatoes, using different olives etc and it always comes out fantastic. The original recipe calls for water but I prefer vegetable or chicken stock. (Cooking time includes time to heat broth and roast pepper).

- In a medium saucepan (I use a 3 1/2 quart) whisk together two tablespoons of the red pepper paste and 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste with 1 cup of the boiling water until the mixture is smooth. Put the pan on the stove and add the rinsed cracked wheat, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining two cups of boiling water to the paste/water mixture. Stir the mixture together, turn the heat on the stove, high enough to bring the water in the mixture back to a boil then turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let this sit for 12-15 minutes until the liquid has been completely absorbed.
- While waiting for the cracked wheat to soften, heat about two tablespoons olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the diced onions and red bell pepper and cook for one minute. Season with a pinch of salt then add the ground cumin, paprika and the remaining 1 tablespoon red pepper paste and 1/2 tablespoon tomato paste. Add another tablespoon of olive oil if you like. Stir the spices and pastes into the vegetables and cook for just another minute or two, until the pastes and spices have heated up. Take this mixture off the heat.
- Once the cracked wheat has softened (all the liquid should have been absorbed), fluff it with a fork and transfer to a large bowl. Add the cooked onion and red pepper mixture and stir together.
- Add the chopped parsley, mint, scallions, lemon juice, four tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon of pomegranate molasses, if using. Feel free to to add more salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, pomegranate molasses and lemon juice to suit your taste. Toss and serve. This is great at chilled or at room temperature. It keeps for several days and tastes better as it sits.
