Tabouli

Let stand about 20 minutes until the water is all soaked up. Mix together: juice of 1 lemon 1 large garlic clove (double this, of course! :-) 1/4 c good olive oil 1/2 tsp dried mint Stir this into the wheat, then refrigerate for about 3 hours. Toss in: 1 bunch scallions, w/greens, chopped 2 firm tomatoes (I use 3) diced 1 bunch parseley, fresh, chopped 1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans) 1 green pepper, chopped 1-2 chopped english/japanese cucumbers Garnish w/ olives and feta cheese. This makes a bunch - enough for side dishes & some lunches for 2 people for about 1/2 week. Refrigerate.
