Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/4 cup bulgur (not quick-cooking)
1/4 medium head of green cabbage, cored, very thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
1/2 medium white onion, very thinly sliced
2 cups very finely chopped parsley
1 cup mint leaves, torn if large
1 tsp. ground allspice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
Fresh green chiles (optional)

Steps:

Place bulgur in a small bowl; pour in boiling water to cover by 2". Let soak until tender, about 50 minutes; drain.
Toss cabbage, onion, parsley, mint, allspice, and half of the bulgur in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over tabbouleh and season with salt; toss again to combine.
Transfer tabbouleh to a platter and sprinkle with remaining bulgur. Serve with chiles alongside if desired (they're meant to add some heat in between bites of the cooling tabbouleh).

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cabbage. If you can, get it from a local farmer's market or grow your own.
Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help it absorb the dressing better.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is always a good choice, but you can also try a creamy dressing or a tangy mustard dressing.
Add some crunch to your salad with chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons.
If you're making the salad ahead of time, wait to add the dressing until just before serving. This will help prevent the cabbage from getting watery.

Conclusion:

Cabbage picnic salad is a refreshing and delicious side dish that's perfect for any summer gathering. It's easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy salad, give cabbage picnic salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
