Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 100g fine bulgur wheat
  • 3 large bunches flat-leaf parsley, very finely chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 4 ripe tomatoes, finely diced
  • 4 green onions, finely sliced
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak bulgur in cold water for 20 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry.

  2. 2

    The key: chop parsley very finely — this is the base of the salad, not a garnish.

  3. 3

    Combine bulgur, parsley, mint, tomatoes, and green onions.

  4. 4

    Dress with lemon juice and olive oil. Season generously.

  5. 5

    Taste — it should be very lemony and bright.

  6. 6

    Rest 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
