Recipe: Tasty Tabbouleh


I'd love to begin adding recipes to this site, so I'll start with something we made and ate tonight:

Tasty Tabbouleh
Serves 6 as a substantial side dish.

Ingredients
About 1.5 Cups cooked kidney beans (start with 3/4 Cup dried beans, or use 1 15-oz. can, rinsed and drained)
About 1.5 Cups cooked chickpeas (start with 3/4 Cup dried chickpeas, or use 1 15-oz. can, rinsed and drained)
About 1.5 Cups cooked black beans (start with 3/4 Cup dried beans, or use 1 15-oz. can, rinsed and drained)
2 Cups cooked bulgur (start with 1 Cup dry, uncooked bulgur)
2 bunches flat leaf parsley, rinsed, patted/spun dry, and coarsely or finely chopped (as you prefer)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 hot chilli pepper, minced (optional: seeded, if you want it to be less spicy)
1 long cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
Juice of 2 lemons, 1 lime, and 1 orange
3 Tablespoons olive oil
Salt, freshly ground black pepper, and za'atar to taste
Other optional add-ons: diced radish, seeded and diced tomatoes, peeled and grated carrot, corn kernels...
This one is pretty easy - just toss everything together in a big bowl!
