1 c. uncooked bulgar
2 cups boiling water
1/4 to 1/2 c. olive oil
1/4 to 1/2 c. fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 t. salt
1/4 to 1/2 t. pepper
1/2 to 1-1/2 cups chopped fresh parsley
2 t. to 1/4 c. chopped fresh mint
1/4 to 1/2 c. green onions and tops, chopped
1 to 3 tomatoes, diced
1 t. balsamic vinegar
2 T. green or black olives, chopped
1/4 to 1/2 c.celery diced
4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
1 med. cucumber, peeled, seeds removed, diced
Pour boiling water over bulgar in large bowl. Let stand 1 hour. Drain well in colander and return to bowl. Combine remaining ingredients, add to the drained bulgar and blend well. Chill at least 2 hours.
Some people like to add diced leftover meats and veggies. I prefer mine as indicated above.
