Another favorite, especially in the summer. It is a great side dish to take to a barbecue, picnic or potluck as there are no dairy ingredients in it to go bad!
I am not sure where I originally found this recipe. It is one of those I wrote down years ago and didn’t note it. I am also not sure why it is called tabouli…I guess anything that has parsley, lemon juice and mint in it can be considered tabouli (or tabbouleh), right? Regardless, I love these flavors together.
Wild Rice Tabouli
1 cup wild rice, dry, cook per package directions *
1/2 – 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced thin *
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup green onions
1 package mint leaves, torn *
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
Dressing:
2 Tbsp soy sauce *
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp black pepper
Cook wild rice according to package instructions. Drain and cool. Combine rice, tomatoes, parsley, onions and mint in a bowl. Mix dressing ingredients together. Toss to coat rice. Stir in pine nuts.
Notes:
* I buy my wild rice at Trader Joe’s.
* Try to find sun-dried tomatoes that are dry, not packed in oil. If they are really dry, hydrate them in some hot water for about 20 minutes and then slice thin.
* One of those plastic packages of mint at the grocery store is the equivalent of about 2/3 cup of mint from your garden. Mint is super easy to grow. In fact some consider it a weed. If you do want to grow it, contain it in a pot as it will travel all over your yard and garden where you don’t want it.
* If you are cooking gluten free, be sure to use a gluten free soy sauce or tamari. LaChoy and San-J Wheat Free Tamari are both safe.
