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

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.
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.
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.
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!
