Ingredients
- 1 cup fine bulgur wheat
- 1.5 cups boiling water
- 1 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves (finely chopped)
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes (diced)
- 1 medium cucumber (diced)
- 3 stalks green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.75 teaspoons sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the bulgur wheat in a large bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap and let it sit for 10-15 minutes until the bulgur is softened and has absorbed the water.
Step 2
Once the bulgur is softened, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. If there is any excess water, drain it using a fine-mesh sieve, pressing lightly to remove the moisture.
Step 3
Add the finely chopped parsley, mint, diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, and sliced green onions to the bowl with the bulgur, mixing gently to combine.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, ground black pepper, and sea salt to create the dressing.
Step 5
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.
Step 7
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve cold or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish, garnish if desired, and enjoy!
