Directions

1

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.
2

Wash chopped mint and parsley and then drain well.
3

Wash the bulgur several times and drain.
4

Soak the washed bulgur in the chopped tomatoes for about 20 minutes.
5

Rub the chopped onion with salt.
6

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Add olive oil and lemon juice and toss the mixture well.
7

Serve with crisp lettuce leaves or fresh cabbage leaves, for scooping up the salad.
