Instructions

Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the freekeh and toast for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Add 2 cups of water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Allow the pot to boil, then turn the heat down to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain any excess water, fluff with a fork, and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, and sumac together in a large bowl.
Place the tomatoes, cucumbers, and cooled freekeh in the bowl; toss well. Fold in the fresh mint. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
