100g bulgar wheat
3 good sized tomatoes
or 12 cherry tomatoes
bunch spring onions
handful fresh mint
handful fresh parsley
1 or 2 lemons
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper

Large Iceberg Lettuce for serving.

Soak the bulgar wheat for about 20 minutes alowing it to soak up the water. Chop the vegetable and herbs.

Washed the lettuce and lay the leaves around the edge of a salad bowl or large serving plate.

Drain the Bulgar wheat through a sieve and mix into it the vegetables nad herbs. Squeeze over the lemon juice and pour on the olive oil and toss the salad.

Season to taste and then place in the bowl with the lettuce. The leaves can be used to scoop up the taboulleh which can be served on its own or as an accompaniment to Arab dishes.

What I find helps is to squeeze the bulgar and the spring onions together so that the juice runs out of the onion into the bulgar.
Also, diced cucumber greatly adds to the flavour. A teaspoon of soy sauce also adds a bit of a zing.
