Zesty Mediterranean Tabouli Salad

1.In a large bowl, combine the bulgur wheat and boiling water. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let it sit for about 30 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender and has absorbed the water.

2.Fluff the bulgur with a fork and let it cool to room temperature.

3.Once the bulgur is cool, add the finely chopped parsley, mint, cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion to the bowl.

4.In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a dressing.

5.Pour the dressing over the bulgur and vegetable mixture, and toss gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.

6.Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

7.Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
