My Secret Tabouli

It's a secret! I hope you like it.

• Ready In: 3 hrs 30 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 2  cups  whole dry  wheat berries
• 1  quart boiling water
• 1 (4 ounce) can  ripe black olives
• 2  cups fresh parsley, minced
• 1⁄4 cup mint, minced
• 1  cup fresh spinach, coarsely chopped
• 1  small red onion, finely chopped
• 2 -3  garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1⁄2 cup sun-dried tomato, soaked and chopped
• 1⁄2 cup lemon juice
• 1  teaspoon soy sauce
• 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1  teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Cook wheat berries at a high simmer for about 2 hours. This goes a little faster if you soak them overnight.
2. Drain remaining water and run the wheat under cold water for a couple of minutes.
3. Strain and set aside (storing the wheat in the fridge to cool them down while you proceed with the next step is a good idea).
4. Chop olives, parsley, mint, spinach, onion, garlic and tomatoes; put all ingredients in large bowl.
5. Add the wheat berries to bowl.
6. Add lemon juice, soy sauce and olive oil.
7. Mix together well.
8. Add salt to taste.
9. Enjoy!
10. This recipe keeps in the fridge for a least a week if needed. Just add a little lemon juice, if needed. This is a great recipe to make ahead for parties.
