Ingredients
Salad
- 3 bunches fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 cup fresh mint
- 3 ripe tomatoes, finely diced
- 1/4 cup fine bulgur wheat
- 2 green onions, sliced
Dressing
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
1
Soak Bulgur
Wash the bulgur wheat and soak it in lemon juice for 20 minutes until it softens and absorbs the citrus flavor.
2
Prep Parsley
Wash and thoroughly dry the parsley. This is the most important step! Finely chop the parsley leaves by hand (avoid using a food processor as it will bruise the herbs).
3
Prep Vegetables
Finely dice the tomatoes and green onions. Chop the fresh mint leaves.
4
Combine
In a large bowl, combine the chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, onions, and the soaked bulgur.
5
Dress and Chill
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently and let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
