Fresh spearmint can be very expensive when purchased in the small packages available at most supermarkets. You can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried mint for a comparable, less expensive taste result.

Ingredients

1 cup bulgur wheat

1 cup boiling water

3 tomatoes, chopped

1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced

1/2 cup mint, minced

3 green onions, chopped

1 onion, chopped

1 tsp salt

1/3 cup lemon juice

1/3 cup vegetable oil

Directions

Combine bulgur and boiling water in a large bowl. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Add tomatoes, parsley, mint, green onions and onion to bowl.
Add salt, lemon juice and oil to bulgur mixture; mix well. Cover; refrigerate until ready to serve.
Serve this nutritious salad in a decorative glass bowl at your next luncheon buffet to show off its colors and textures. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs around the entire bowl.
