👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Rinse the fine bulgur under cold water, then soak it in a small bowl with just enough water to cover for about 15-20 minutes until it softens. Drain any excess water thoroughly, pressing gently if needed.
2. While the bulgur is soaking, finely chop the fresh parsley, mint leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, and green onions. Ensure all ingredients are very finely diced, which is key for authentic tabbouleh texture.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained bulgur with all the finely chopped vegetables and herbs. Mix them gently until evenly distributed.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
5. Pour the dressing over the bulgur and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together gently until all ingredients are well coated. For best flavor, let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.
