Bulgur is a grain that has a nutty flavor. It becomes soft as it absorbs the liquid from the salad.

Ingredients

• 1 cup bulgur

• 1 cup hot water

• 3 cups fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped

• 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped

• 4 green onions

• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

• 3/4 cup diced tomatoes

Directions

1. Put bulgur in a medium bowl with hot water. The bulgur will absorb the water.

2. Wash parsley and mint in a colander under running water. Roll herbs in paper towels to dry.

3. Wash green onions and pat dry. Cut off roots and slice white portion into 1/4–inch slices. Finely chop slices. Save green tops for another use.

4. Combine green onions, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk together. Fold lemon juice mixture into bulgur with a spoon. Add tomatoes and continue stirring until well combined.
