Tabbouleh

This is a classic salad that is also ideal for taking in a little box for lunch.

1 mug bulgar wheat (or cous cous if you don't have any)
A bunch of chopped parsley
A bunch of chopped mint
Half a cucumber, diced
2-3 tomatoes, diced ( squeeze out the seeds if you don't want the slushiness)
A squeeze of lemon juice
A drizzle of olive oil

Make the bulgur/cous cous according to the packet but it usually involves putting in a bowl, covering in boiling water to a cm above the grains, covering and leaving for about 5 mins or until all the water is absorbed and the grains are plump. Allow to cool.

Mix in all the other ingredients and chill. 

You can tart it up with avocado, nuts, radishes etc if you have them lurking and fancy it.
