Tabouli Garden Salad Recipe

We fell in love with Tabouli last year and only make it while we’re in Florida (for unknown reasons). This is a basic tabouli recipe, that delivers an excellent flavor.

Ingredients
1 cup Bulgur Wheat
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
dash of cayenne pepper
1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
1 bunch fresh parsley (chopped)
1 large tomato (chopped)
1 21/4 oz can black olives(sliced)

Directions
In medium bowl, pour boiling water over bulgur wheat. Let sit for 1/2 hour. Mix in shaker, oil, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, oregano and cayenne pepper and shake well. Mix bulgur wheat and vegetables, pour in oil mixture, stir well.

Serve over a bed of lettuce, in a bowl, or as a side dish. 

Best if refrigerated for several hours before serving.

Makes approximately 10 1/2-cup servings…or one really large serving.

Being pro life is not an option for those who call themselves Christian – it is a duty!

I’d like to share the closing paragraph of a sermon that our Pastor gave about the Pro-Life movement. You can read the full version here.


I encourage you never to be lost in the hype that surrounds so much of the abortion debate. Find the truth about all the life issues, for a society which is increasingly violent needs the truth – not platitudes, not soundbites, not distorted media representations. Unborn children are the only class of human beings in our society that have absolutely no protected rights under the law – not even the right to live! Who will speak for these children? They are silent, hidden, and defenseless. We are the only voices those children will ever have. Let us use our voices to change the hearts and minds of all those who favor, promote, seek, or perform abortions. Being pro life is not an option for those who call themselves Christian – it is a duty!

Fr. Christopher Senk
