Ingredients

• 0.25 Cups bulgur
• 0.5 Cups boiling water
• 5 Whole ripe tomatoes, diced
• 1 Small onion, minced
• 1 Cups parsley, minced
• 0.25 Cups mint leaves, minced
• 1 Whole lemon, juiced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) olive oil
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt

Steps

1. Prepare Bulgur: Place the bulgur in a small mixing bowl. Pour the boiling water over the bulgur, stir, and cover with a clean towel. Let it stand for 1 hour to absorb the water and soften. Afterward, drain any excess water.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, minced onion, minced parsley, minced mint leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, and kosher salt. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
3. Combine and Serve: Add the soaked bulgur to the vegetable mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the bulgur is evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. The flavors will continue to develop, making it even more delicious the next day.
