Servings: persons

3 cups finely chopped curley parsley, mostly tops and few stems
2 cups finely chopped romaine lettuce
3 cups quartered sweet grape tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chopped green onion
2 cups bulger wheat
4 cups water
2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup good quality olive oil
12 finely chopped mint leaves
2 dashes salt
8 grinds black pepper
8 ounces crumbled feta
1 head well washed whole romaine leaves

1
Place the bulger wheat in 4 cups of warm water for at least 30 minutes, then drain it. I like a bit of chew to my bulger and I bloom them in warm water but give room for absorption of the dressing.
2
Place the finely chopped curly parsley, finely chopped romaine, finely chopped mint and sweet grape tomatoes in a large bowl. Add the bloomed bulger wheat. Combine.
3
Whisk the lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper together. Generously douse the bulger salad with the golden liquid. I like my Tabbouleh pucker tart with lemon so my lemon addition is often to taste, and this is a great time to determine if another lemon may be necessary.
4
I leave the chopped onion and feta out of the salad until the last minute before serving. The onion can become a textural challenge when sitting in the dressing and I like the freshness of the feta.
5
Scoop this up with whole romaine leaves, pita bread or eat it with a spoon. Enjoy!
