Tipili Recipe (Bulgur Salad): is the local variation of the world-famous Tabouleh, the so-called 'Lebanon's national salad' brought here by Middle Eastern immigrants over a century ago.
Pour the bulgur into a deep bowl and add enough water to cover it. Soak the bulgur in water for at least two hours.
2. Draining
Drain the water and squeeze the bulgur to get rid of as much liquid as possible.
3. Combining
Mix the bulgur with the tomatoes, onion, parsley, mint, oil and lime juice. Season with salt to taste.
4. Serving
Best served right away so the parsley doesn't wilt.

Notes
The original tabouleh salad contains a lot more parsley (and mint) than Dominicans add to it. We also did away with the mint, which, in my opinion of little esteem, was a great decision. You may add mint to yours if you so prefer.Bulgur is sometimes sold under the name Coarse Bulgur Wheat [Amazon affiliate Link] It would not be hard to find in Middle Eastern and Latino communities.
