Tabbouleh with Tuna Recipe

Tabbouleh with Tuna Recipe

  • 1 cup bulgur
  • 2 cups water
  • 6 scallions, white bulbs only, sliced thin
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
  • 6 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tuna packed in oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the bulgur and the water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, until the bulgur is tender and most of the water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a medium bowl to cool.
  2. When the bulgur is cool, stir in the scallions, cucumber, radishes, carrot, parsley, and mint. Add the tuna with its oil, the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine.
