LEBANESE TABOULI SALAD 
1/4 c. cracked (bulgar) wheat
1 c. hot water
1 lg. tomato
3 green scallions, chopped very fine
1 lg. bunch parsley, chopped fine (can use food processor for a few seconds)
Juice of 1 sm. lemon
1/4 - 1/2 c. olive oil
1 sprig or sprinkle of mint
1/4 tsp. (more or less) salt & pepper to taste

Take cracked wheat and pour hot water over it to cover it until you have prepared all other ingredients. (This is so the wheat will be soft.) Chop parsley, tomato and onion (scallions). Mix all together in a large bowl. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and mint. Drain excess water from wheat and pour the wheat into the mixture. Mix well with hands or large spoon. You can serve it on Romaine lettuce leaves and wrap leaf around the salad or just eat with a fork. Serves 2.

I used a bit less scallions for personal taste, used boiling water and let it sit for about an hour. Great recipe, taste was fantastic.

Growing up in a Lebanese family I ate this at least once/week. It is a great dish. Be sure to squeeze all the water out of the bulgar wheat as you do not want any of that liquid. My family likes it very juicy and lemony so we add more lemon and also allspice for a real middle eastern taste.
