Place the bulgur wheat in a large bowl that is heat-safe.
Pour the boiling water over the bulgur. Cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap, and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bulgur has absorbed the water and is tender.
Fluff the bulgur with a fork and allow it to cool to room temperature.
While the bulgur is cooling, prepare your vegetables and herbs by finely chopping the parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber, and green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Once the bulgur has cooled, combine it with the chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber, and green onions in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss everything to combine thoroughly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Chill the taboule in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
