1 cup chopped tomato (about 2 medium)

3/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (about 1 bunch)

3/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (about 1 bunch)

2/3 cup chopped seeded cucumber

1/2 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

pepperoncini peppers (optional)

kalamata olives (optional)

Directions:

1. Combine bulgur and boiling water in a medium bowl. Cover and let stand 30 minutes. Add tomato and next 9 ingredients; stir well. Cover and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with pepperoncini peppers and olives, if desired.
