2 cups finely chopped fresh parsley

1 lb firm tomatoes, washed and finely chopped

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves

-
1/2 cup lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
-
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

crisp lettuce leaves or fresh cabbage leaf
Instructions
- When I make this, I find that I can reduce the salt, lemon juice, and oil quite a bit, but I've posted the original ingredients list above for you to modify as desired.
- Wash chopped mint and parsley and then drain well.
- Wash the bulgur several times and drain.
- Soak the washed bulgur in the chopped tomatoes for about 20 minutes.
- Rub the chopped onion with salt.
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Add olive oil and lemon juice and toss the mixture well.
- Serve with crisp lettuce leaves or fresh cabbage leaves, for scooping up the salad.
