Ingredients

1 cup bulgur (see notes)
6 cups water
1 cup diced tomato
1 medium red onion diced into small cubes
1 bunch parsley chopped
1 sprig mint chopped (optional)
2 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon salt (or more, to taste)

Instructions

Soaking: Pour the bulgur into a deep bowl and add enough water to cover it. Soak the bulgur in water for at least two hours.
Draining: Drain the water and squeeze the bulgur to get rid of as much liquid as possible.
Combining: Mix the bulgur with the tomatoes, onion, parsley, mint, oil and lime juice. Season with salt to taste.
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.
