  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 cups torn lettuce

Directions:

  1. Cook bulgur according to package directions; drain and set aside to cool. In a food processor, combine cooked bulgur, garbanzo beans, egg white, parsley, 1/4 mint, garlic, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper.
