Instruction manual
1
First you need to cook cereals. Whatever cereal is used, the method of preparation will be the same. It is moved, washed, seasoned with salt and pepper and poured with boiling water in a ratio of 1: 1.5. If dried mint will be used in the salad, then it is added now. Dishes with cereals are covered with a lid and left until the liquid is completely absorbed.

Tomatoes are chopped. The more ripe and juicier they are, the more delicious and aromatic the salad will turn out. Parsley is chopped as small as possible, it will also affect the taste of the finished dish. If there is fresh mint, then it is also crushed. Cucumbers, peppers and red onions are cut into small pieces.
3
Steamed cereal is thoroughly mixed, this is necessary for greater friability, and mixed with vegetable salad. Salt and pepper are added to taste.

It remains only to refuel. For tabou salad, a mixture of lemon juice and olive oil is traditionally used as a dressing. Ready salad is cleaned in a cool place for a couple of hours for soaking.
Useful advice
Instead of couscous and bulgur, you can use ordinary millet. This will not affect the taste of the salad, only the time for steaming the cereal will increase slightly.
