Instructions

Boil water.
Pour bulgar into water and stir, remove from heat and let soak 1 hour.
When bulgar is soft, strain and squeeze out any extra water.
Place in large bowl, set aside.
In a food processor, add mint, scallions, garlic, and parsley and mince (do not pulverize or liquify - this shouldn't be like pesto) - OR chop to mince finely. We prefer chopping by hand because we like a more rustic texture, some prefer more finely minced texture.
Add to bowl with bulgar and stir.
Stir tomatoes and cucumber into bulgar and minced herbs, toss to mix.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil and lemon - stir well to combine.
Drizzle olive oil and lemon over tabbouleh, tossing to evenly coat.
Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste.
Enjoy!
