Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the bulgur in a heat-proof bowl and pour the boiling water over it.
  2. Cover the bowl with a towel or lid and let stand for 1 hour to allow the bulgur to soften and absorb the water.
  3. After 1 hour, pour the bulgur and remaining water into a fine mesh strainer to drain.
  4. Press the bulgur with your hands or a spoon to remove as much excess water as possible.
  5. Transfer the drained bulgur to a large mixing bowl.
  6. Add the chopped tomato, parsley, green onions, lemon juice, and garlic powder to the bowl.
  7. Toss well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend before serving.
