Instructions
- Place the bulgur wheat and boiling water in a large bowl. Cover and let it sit for 45 minutes or until the wheat has softened. Drain off any excess liquid
- Add the cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, parsley and mint to the bowl with the bulgur wheat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
- Cover the salad and chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days. Serve.
Notes
- Bulgur wheat is available in most grocery stores. I typically buy mine in the bulk bins.
- This recipe requires quite a bit of chopping to get the fine texture that's so traditional with this salad. To save a little time, you can use the food processor to chop the parsley.
- This salad tastes best when it has some time to sit so that the bulgur can absorb the dressing. I recommend making it at least one hour before you plan to serve it.
