Prep the vegetables
ChopMeanwhile, finely chop the parsley, tomatoes, green onions and mint. Take your time with a sharp knife rather than a food processor so the parsley stays bright and doesn't wilt.

Layer the bowl
On topAdd the chopped parsley, tomatoes, green onions and mint to one side of the large bowl with the soaked bulgur, but don't mix yet. Keep everything separated until you're ready to serve.
Toss and serve
TossWhen the bulgur is plump and the dressing mostly absorbed, stir everything together until well combined. Serve at room temperature or chilled from the fridge.
Taste and adjust
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning, or add a little more olive oil or lemon juice if needed.
Cook's noteUse #1 extra-fine bulgur (pre-cooked, no boiling) and soak it right in the lemon-oil dressing — it plumps up beautifully and stays full of flavour.
