Tabbouleh Salad Recipe.

Ingredients:

3/4 pound ripe plum tomatoes, finely diced
2 cups finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems (about 2 bunches), finely chopped with a sharp knife
2 TSPs kosher salt, divided, plus more for seasoning
1/4 cup dry coarse bulgur wheat
1 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves (about 1 bunch)
2 scallions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
5 TBSPs extra-virgin olive oil
2 TBSPs fresh juice from 2 lemons
1/4 TSP ground coriander seed (optional; see note)
Pinch ground cinnamon (optional; see note)
Freshly ground black pepper
Romaine lettuce leaves, for serving

Recipe Instructions:

Season tomatoes with 1 TSP salt and toss to combine.
Transfer to a fine mesh strainer or colander set in a bowl and allow to drain for 20 minutes.
Reserve liquid.
Season parsley with remaining 1 TSP salt and toss to combine.
Transfer to a large mixing bowl lined with paper towels and let stand for 20 minutes.
Blot parsley with towels to remove excess moisture.
Bring 1/2 cup reserved tomato water to a boil, then pour over bulgur in a small heatproof bowl and let stand until bulgur is softened, about 1 hour (bulgur may still have a slight bite, but will continue to soften in the salad).
Drain bulgur of any excess liquid and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together tomatoes, parsley, mint, bulgur, scallions, olive oil, lemon juice, coriander seed, and cinnamon until well combined.
Season with salt and pepper.
Serve tabbouleh with romaine leaves.
