- 1 large cucumber
- 4 stalks green onions

Instructions
Place the bulgur wheat in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the boiling water over the bulgur wheat, cover the bowl, and let it sit for about 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender.
Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley and mint leaves and set aside.
Dice the tomatoes and cucumber into small cubes, and finely slice the green onions.
Once the bulgur is ready, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.
Add the chopped parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber, and green onions to the bulgur.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the bulgur and vegetables, and toss everything gently to combine.
