- 1 cup bulgur wheat
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 large tomatoes, diced

- 1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 bunch fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- Juice of 2-3 lemons
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bulgur:
- Place the bulgur in a large bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Cover and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender and has absorbed all the water. Fluff with a fork and let it cool to room temperature.
- Chop the Vegetables and Herbs:
- While the bulgur is soaking, prepare the vegetables and herbs. Dice the tomatoes and cucumber, and finely chop the parsley, mint, and green onions.
- Mix Everything Together:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked bulgur with the diced tomatoes, cucumber, chopped parsley, mint, and green onions.
- Dress the Salad:
- Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss and Chill:
- Gently toss everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Give the tabouli a final toss before serving. It's delicious on its own as a salad or as a side dish with grilled meats or falafel.
