Kasha Tabbouli
Makes 4 servings
Tabbouli is best prepared with kasha that has been cooked in vegetable broth. To serve as an appetizer, place tabbouli in center of a plate and surround it with romaine leaves to be used as “scoops”.
1 cup cooked kasha (whole or cracked)
1/3 cup chopped green onions
15 fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
salt, to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 – 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar and oil salad dressing
Combine all ingredients, using sufficient salad dressing to moisten kasha. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
