Tabbouleh with Fruits Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fine bulgur wheat
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 small cucumber, seeded and diced
• 2 small firm ripe peaches, pitted and diced
• 1/2 small pineapple, peeled and diced

Instructions:

1. Place the bulgur in a large mixing bowl and pour enough hot water over it to cover by 1/2 inch. Let soak for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess water in a colander and use your hands to squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the bulgur.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the bulgur and toss to coat evenly.
3. Add the parsley, mint, green onions, cucumber, peaches, and pineapple. Toss again to combine thoroughly, cover the bowl, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
