Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups water
  • 1 cup bulgur wheat
  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced into thin slivers
  • ¾ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
  • salt to taste

Directions

Step 1
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, turn off the heat, and stir in bulgur wheat. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes to absorb water. Strain off any liquid left unabsorbed, if necessary.

Step 2
Place bulgur wheat in a large salad bowl, and lightly toss with tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, pepper, and salt until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate salad for at least 3 hours to blend flavors; serve cold.
