Method

1. Trim the parsley of yellow leaves and cut away stems that have no leaves, and remove the mint leaves from their stems.
2. Wash the vegetables and drain them well.
3. Finely chop the parsley, mint, and green onions.
4. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes and place them over the bulgur so the bulgur softens.
5. Combine the vegetables together.
6. Sprinkle a little spice and salt, then add olive oil, lemon zest and lemon juice and mix well.
7. Serve the tabbouleh with lettuce or cabbage leaves for wrapping/eating.
