METHOD
- Put bulgur into a large glass or ceramic bowl, then stir in 1 cup of the lemon juice and 2 cups water. Cover bowl and set aside, at room temperature, until most of the liquid has been absorbed and bulgur is tender (about 2 hours).
- Drain bulgur in a sieve, gently pressing kernels to remove excess liquid. Transfer to a large, clean glass or ceramic bowl and add green onions, parsley, mint, coriander, tomatoes, olive oil, and the remaining 1/3 cup lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and toss well.
