Ingredients
- 0.5 cups fine bulgur wheat
- 0.5 cups boiling water
- 2 bunches fresh parsley
- 1 bunch fresh mint leaves
- 4 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cups extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cups fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the fine bulgur wheat with boiling water. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and allow it to soak for 10 minutes until the bulgur absorbs the water and becomes tender.
Step 2
While the bulgur is soaking, rinse the parsley and mint thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Pat them dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves, discarding thick stems. Place the chopped herbs in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Trim off the ends of the green onions, then finely slice the white and light green parts. Add the sliced onions to the mixing bowl with the herbs.
Step 5
Once the bulgur is tender, fluff it with a fork to break apart any clumps, then add it to the mixing bowl with the herbs and green onions.
Step 6
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the herb and bulgur mixture, then toss everything together gently until evenly combined.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a fresh side dish or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
