Earthly Choice provided me with free samples of their products, one of them being Kamut wheat. Thanks earthly choice for helping me create this kamut recipe.

This conversation happened in our house recently:

Aldo: What's for dinner?
Me: Kamut Tabbouleh Salad
Aldo: Ka-what? Ta-what?

Alright let me explain.

Tabbouleh Salad

Tabbouleh is a Middle Eastern vegetarian/vegan salad typically made with cracked bulgur wheat, fresh tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and a crap-top of herbs such as parsley and mint. It's usually seasoned with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. It is absolutely delicious. And yes, crap-ton is a measurement unit in my world. 🙂

What is kamut?

Kamut is a brand of khorasan wheat, originating from the Middle East/Iran area. It's an ancient whole grain, and it is about twice the size of regular modern wheat.

I'm not really sure how you could put a brand / trademark on wheat that's been around for thousands of years, but it's been done. The funny thing is many different brands sell Kamut wheat. You can get it from Bob's Red Mill, Earthly Choice, and lots of other companies. I have no idea how the legal aspect of that works.

But going back to my salad...

I used Kamut wheat to make this tabbouleh salad, combining it with ripe tomatoes, crispy cucumbers, crunchy red onion, fresh lemon juice, fresh parsley and mint, and a healthy drizzle of olive oil.

Kamut Tabbouleh the perfect combination of flavors and makes for a really fresh, flavorful salad. The herbs and lemon juice make it so fragrant and delicious. The Kamut wheat gives the salad a wonderful texture - it is a bit crunchy and gives the salad a great bite.

A few tips to make this Tabbouleh Salad:

Use FRESH lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley. Don't go for the bottled or dried stuff. The fresh ingredients give the salad so much flavor and make it taste so much better.

It's super easy to zest and juice a lemon, it just takes an extra minute if you use a microplane grater (such as this one) and a lemon squeezer (such as this one). And you can chop fresh herbs with these herb scissors without even getting a cutting board dirty.

Give this Kamut Tabbouleh salad a try whenever you need a fresh new recipe idea. It makes a great side dish, light dinner, or super healthy lunch. It is also great to take to work for lunch because it doesn't need to be reheated.

Oh, and if you can't find Kamut, this can easily be made with faro, bulgur, wheat berries, or even quinoa, couscous, or lentils! Just switch up the grain and keep the rest of the recipe as it is.
