About this dish

Properly done, this is a herb salad that happens to contain grain rather than the reverse: finely chopped parsley and mint carry it, with just enough soaked bulgur to bind the lemony dressing. Deseeding the tomatoes first keeps the whole bowl from turning watery.

Method

1

Rinse the bulgur wheat under cold water, then put it in a small bowl, cover with cold water and leave to soak until softened and the water is absorbed.

Approx. 2 minutes
2

Drain the soaked bulgur well in a fine-mesh sieve, pressing out any excess water with the back of a spoon.

Approx. 3 minutes
3

Very finely chop the parsley and mint by hand until they are almost minced, since a food processor will bruise the leaves and turn them grey.

Approx. 15 minutes
4

Finely slice the spring onions and finely dice the deseeded tomatoes.

Approx. 5 minutes
5

Combine the drained bulgur, chopped herbs, spring onions and tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Approx. 3 minutes
6

Whisk the lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, salt and black pepper together, pour over the salad and toss well just before serving.

Approx. 2 minutes
