👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Rinse the fine bulgur under cold water, then soak it in a small bowl with just enough cold water to cover for about 15-20 minutes, or until softened; drain any excess water thoroughly by pressing gently.
2. Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint, ripe tomatoes, and green onions. Ensure all ingredients are very finely diced for the authentic tabbouleh texture.
3. In a large bowl, combine the soaked bulgur, chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, and green onions. Fluff the bulgur with a fork to separate the grains.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
5. Pour the dressing over the bulgur and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well combined and coated.
6. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate the tabbouleh for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or light meal.
