A zingy, herb-heavy Levantine salad of bulgur, tomato, parsley, mint, lemon and olive oil. Bright, fresh, dangerously addictive. Best made and eaten the same day.

The recipe

Instructions

  1. 1
    Soak the bulgur in 200ml hot water for 15 minutes. Drain, squeeze lightly.
  2. 2
    Finely chop the parsley and mint — properly chopped, not ribboned.
  3. 3
    Dice the tomatoes (save the juice), spring onions and cucumber finely.
  4. 4
    Combine everything in a bowl with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
  5. 5
    Toss thoroughly. Best after 30 minutes for the bulgur to absorb the dressing. Serve cold.
