A Levantine vegetarian salad made mostly of finely chopped parsley.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the fine bulgur wheat in a small bowl and pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over it. Cover with a plate and let it sit for 15-20 minutes until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender. Fluff with a fork and let cool.

  2. 2

    Very finely chop the parsley and mint leaves. A sharp knife is essential to avoid bruising the herbs. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Dice the tomatoes very finely. Place them in a sieve for 5 minutes to drain excess juice so the salad doesn't become soggy. Add to the bowl with the herbs.

  4. 4

    Add the thinly sliced green onions and the cooled, fluffed bulgur wheat to the bowl.

  5. 5

    In a small jar, shake together the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form a dressing.

  6. 6

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Let the salad rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving so the bulgur absorbs the dressing flavors.
