Ingredients

1/3 cup bulghur 45 g
2 bunches Italian parsley, fresh, finely chopped 200 g
32 leaves fresh mint, finely chopped 2 g
4 green onions/scallions, finely chopped
1 tomatoes, deseeded and diced 120 g
1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 65 mL
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]

Before you start

A food processor will be very useful to chop parsley and mint.

Don't be surprised if after trimming and discarding the stems, you keep less than half the original parsley.

Method

  1. Soak the bulghur 10 min in warm water, making sure it remains covered with the water until the end. Drain and put into a salad bowl.
  2. Wash, spin-dry, and finely chop the parsley and mint leaves discarding the larger stems. Add to the salad bowl along with the finely chopped green onions, then Toss.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, and salt. Whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Adjust the seasoning, pour into the salad bowl then toss well. Let stand 10 min.
  4. Dice the tomatoes discarding the seeds. Add to the salad, toss, and serve.

Although it is a good mix of ingredients (perhaps slightly too oily), there seems to be something missing. I ended up adding more lemon juice and some balsamic vinegar, but still it tasted like something was missing!
