Prep: 20 min · Cook: 0 min · Total: 20 min · Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Fine bulgur wheat
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 2 bunches Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 bunch Fresh mint, finely chopped
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, finely diced
- 3 Green onion, finely sliced
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Place the bulgur in a bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Cover and let it soak for 20 minutes until tender. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
- Finely chop the parsley, mint, tomatoes, and green onions. A sharp knife is key — bruised herbs turn dark and bitter.
- Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small jar.
- Combine the cooled bulgur, herbs, and vegetables in a large bowl.
- Pour the dressing over and toss everything together thoroughly. Let it rest for 10 minutes so the bulgur absorbs the dressing.
- Taste and adjust lemon and salt. Serve at room temperature or chilled, with crisp lettuce leaves for scooping.
