A refreshing and vibrant salad featuring bulgur wheat, fresh herbs, and a zesty lemon dressing.
Combine the bulgur wheat with a cup of boiling water in a bowl and cover it.
Let the bulgur absorb the water completely for a fluffy texture.
Dice the tomatoes and cucumber into small, uniform pieces.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the vegetables' freshness.
Chop the parsley and mint finely.
Roll the herbs into a tight bundle before chopping for easier handling.
Juice the lemon and mix it with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Whisk the dressing thoroughly to emulsify the oil and lemon juice.
Combine the bulgur, vegetables, and herbs in a large bowl, then pour the dressing over and toss well.
Toss gently to avoid mashing the vegetables.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
Garnish with a sprig of mint for a fresh presentation.
