Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup bulgur, uncooked (fine cracked wheat)
  • 2 cups finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 lb firm tomatoes, washed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • crisp lettuce leaves or fresh cabbage leaf

Method

  • When I make this, I find that I can reduce the salt, lemon juice, and oil quite a bit, but I've posted the original ingredients list above for you to modify as desired.
  • Wash chopped mint and parsley and then drain well.
  • Wash the bulgur several times and drain.
  • Soak the washed bulgur in the chopped tomatoes for about 20 minutes.
  • Rub the chopped onion with salt.
  • Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Add olive oil and lemon juice and toss the mixture well.
  • Serve with crisp lettuce leaves or fresh cabbage leaves, for scooping up the salad.
