Preparation

Step 1

Place the bulgur in a large bowl, pour in the boiling water, add the lemon juice, olive oil, and 1 1/2 tsp. salt. Stir, then allow to stand at room temperature for about an hour.

Add the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 2 tsp. salt and pepper; mix well. Season to taste and serve, or cover and refrigerate. The flavor will improve if the tabbouleh sits for a couple of hours.
