- 2 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and chopped
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Place bulgur wheat in a large bowl. Add water and one-third zest and juice; stir. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let stand 30 minutes or until water is absorbed. Pour into a wire-mesh strainer; drain, pressing out any excess water.
