Ingredients
-
6 Bigelow Mint Medley Herbal Tea Bags
-
¾ cups Bulgur Wheat (Tabouleh)
-
1 ¼ cups boiling water
-
1 large tomato, split and cut into ¼ inch dice
-
½ cucumber, peeled, and cut into ¼ inch dice
-
¾ - 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, about 4 ounces
-
¼ cup thinly sliced scallions
-
¼ cup chopped pitted Greek olives
-
1 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
-
½ teaspoon salt or to taste
-
Plenty of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Pour the Bulgur wheat into a bowl. In a glass measuring cup, pour one cup of boiling water over the tea bags and steep for 4-5 minutes. Remove the tea bags to a small strainer and using the back of the spoon, press as much liquid as possible back into the cup. If needed, add additional boiling water to measure 1 cup, then pour it over the Buglur wheat. Let it stand until all the liquid evaporates, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Put the finished tabouleh (Bulgur wheat) in a salad bowl. Add the tomato, cucumber, feta cheese, scallions, mint and olives, turning to mix well. Pour in the olive oil; add salt and pepper and toss again. Taste to adjust the seasonings, if necessary. Serve over a bed of lettuce leaves.
