Ingredients
(Serves 8)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3/4 cup bulgur (cracked wheat), rinsed and drained
- 1 cup diced, seeded tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions or green onions
- 1 cup finely diced cucumber
- 8 olives, green or black, sliced
- 1 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped mint or basil, optional
- 1 teaspoon dill weed, optional
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the bulgur. Cover and let stand until the bulgur is tender and the liquid is completely absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
In a large bowl, add the bulgur and the remaining ingredients. Toss gently just until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend. Serve chilled.
