Ingredients
- ½ cup bulgur wheat
- 1½ cups finely diced tomatoes, preferably Roma
- 3–5 scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
- 2 cups finely chopped fresh parsley
- ¼–½ cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Rinse bulgur in cold running water. Transfer to a bowl, cover with boiling water and soak for at least 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a larger bowl.
- Add tomatoes, scallions, parsley and mint and toss to coat.
- Prepare the dressing by whisking together the lemon juice, olive oil and salt.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and stir well to combine. Allow the salad to rest in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes to allow the bulgur to absorb some of liquid and flavors. Serve as a side dish.
