Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup medium-grind bulgur
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 plum tomatoes, cored, seeded, and diced
1 English cucumber, seeded and diced
1 cup chopped fresh parsley (from 1 to 2 bunches)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix bulgur with 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt and 2 cups boiling water. Cover bowl, and let sit until bulgur is tender (but still slightly chewy), about 30 minutes. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to remove liquid; return to bowl.
  • Add tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, lemon juice, and oil; season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 3 days (bring to room temperature before serving).
