TABOULI

Tabouli

1 cup uncooked bulgar wheat

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 cup chopped green onion

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 cup chopped fresh mint 

3 ripe tomatoes, chopped

2 large cucumbers, peeled and chopped

2 tsp salt

Mix oil and lemon juice together.  Pour over bulgar wheat in large salad bowl.  Stir slightly so all is moistened.  Let sit till all juice is somewhat soaked up (about 10 minutes).  

Then beginning with green onions, layer * the remaining vegetables (with cucumbers on top).  Sprinkle the salt over the top.  Cover and refrigerate overnight (or as long as 24 hours).  Stir together before serving.

* Each vegetable is one layer.

(Note:  I generally use only 1/4 cup of oil and make up the difference with water.)
