The main ingredient is Bulgur wheat I get Bob's Red Mill brand and it can be found I think at Harp's or IGA for sure, maybe WalMart - some do have it and some do not. I would start with a cup to a cup and a half which makes a load of the salad.
Soak the wheat in water till all or mostly absorbed. I cover the wheat by a couple inches and it sometimes takes a couple hours to absorb. You will know when it is ready when you taste it and it is not as hard as a brick. You may have to drain some of the water out when it gets just right. I liken it to pasta al dente.
I chop up green onions, cucumber and cherry tomatoes to taste and then pour in Zesty Italian salad dressing not to cover but just to moisten. The wheat will absorb some of it so it is ok to "spill" a bit of it. Refrigerate and voila! Tabouli!
