Tabouli shouts summer with its refreshing mint and parsley, sour lemon and nutty bulgur wheat. Here, sweet honeydew melon takes the place of the traditional cucumbers and tomatoes for a delicious twist.

Ingredients

3/4 cup bulgur (see Tips & Notes)
1 cup boiling water
1 large bunch curly parsley, washed and finely chopped
2 cups honeydew melon, seeded, peeled, and diced
1 bunch scallions, sliced thin
2 tablespoons fresh mint, minced (about 1/2 ounce)
1/4 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (optional, for garnish)

Preparation

In a small bowl, pour the boiling water over the bulgur and let it sit for 15-20 minutes, until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender. Allow the bulgur to cool. Mix the parsley, melon, scallions, mint, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a large bowl. Toss with the cooled bulgur. Garnish with diced red pepper.
