Instructions
- Rinse the 2 bunches of parsley and the 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves under cold water; shake or pat dry. Remove thick parsley stems and all mint stems, then very finely chop the parsley and mint. Finely chop the 1/4 cup green onions, the 6 Roma tomatoes, and the seedless English cucumber.
- Place 1 cup extra fine bulgur wheat and the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heatproof bowl. Pour the 2 cups very hot/boiling water over the bulgur, stir once, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let stand 15–20 minutes until the bulgur is softened.
- Drain the soaked bulgur in a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently with the back of a spoon to remove excess liquid. Transfer the drained bulgur to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the chopped parsley, chopped mint, chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumber, and chopped green onions to the bulgur. Add the 4 tablespoons lemon juice, the 4 extra virgin olive oil, and salt to taste.
- Toss everything gently but thoroughly to combine. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir again before serving and adjust salt or lemon juice if desired.
