If you’re using raw bulgur wheat, prepare according to pack instructions.
Wash the parsley and mint by dunking in water a few times until the water runs clear, then shake or pat dry with a napkin to dry. Next, wash the cucumbers, tomatoes and spring onions.
Remove the stalk from the parsley and slice the leaves finely. Strip the mint leaves and slice too.
Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds and pulp, leaving only the firm flesh. Do the same for the cucumber and chop both vegetables. Chop the spring onions.
Remove any excess liquid in the chopped herbs and vegetables by draining in a colander.
Assemble the bulgur, parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber and spring onions in a bowl. Squeeze in the lemon juice, add the extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt. Add the black pepper, and then toss.
