Tabouli or Tablouleh or Tabbouleh

My mother learned this recipe from an Armenian friend of hers.  She didn't make it very often, but when she did, we devoured it.  Not everybody likes the texture or the taste, and in my household, I'm the only one that eats it.  It's a Middle Eastern dish and I usually serve it as a side dish.  In my opinion, it's refreshingly delicious!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup bulgur wheat

2 cups of cold water

3 green onions

2 cups of chopped fresh Italian Parsley (flat leaf)

1 chopped cucumber

1 chopped tomato

Dressing:

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup olive oil

1-1/2 tsp. salt

Pour bulgur wheat into medium bowl and cover with cold water.  Allow to soak for a few hours or overnight.  Then strain bulgur and if necessary pour onto a tea towel and allow to dry a little.  Pour bulgur into a large bowl and add green onions.  Add chopped parsley, cucumbers, and tomatoes.  Pour lemon juice dressing on top.  Cover and chill for atleast 1 hour.  Add more dressing upon serving if necessary.
