Tuna tabbouleh salad



Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (240g) burghul (cracked wheat) (see note)
  • 2 x 425g cans tuna in springwater, drained
  • 250g punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, chopped into 1cm cubes
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped dill
  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbs red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
Place the burghul in a bowl with 3 cups (750ml) cold water. Soak for 20 minutes or until softened. Drain well, squeezing out as much of the water as possible. Transfer the burghul to a large bowl, then stir in the tuna, tomato, cucumber, red onion, parsley and dill.
 Whisk the olive oil, vinegar and garlic together in a jug, then pour over the salad. Toss well to combine, then serve. /
