Ingredients

• 2 lemons, juiced
• salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 ¼ cups water
• 2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
• ¾ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

• 1 cup bulgur wheat
• 2 green onions, sliced into thin slivers
• ½ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, turn off the heat, and stir in the bulgur wheat. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes to absorb water. Strain off any liquid left unabsorbed, if necessary.

Step 2

Place the bulgur wheat in a large salad bowl, and lightly toss with the tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, pepper, and salt until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate the salad for at least 3 hours to blend the flavors; serve cold.
