Tabbouleh (Lebanon)

• 1 cup bulgur wheat
• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
• 3/4 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves
• 1/2 cup freshly chopped mint leaves
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1 head romaine lettuce

1. Place the bulgur in a large bowl and pour the water over it.
2. Wrap with plastic wrap and allow to steam until the bulgur has absorbed most of the water, about 20 minutes.
3. Strain the bulgur through a fine-mesh strainer, pushing as much of the water out of the bulgur that you can, and return the bulgur to the bowl.
4. Add the tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, mint, green onions, salt and pepper to the bowl and toss with a fork to blend.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle over the tabbouleh salad.
6. Stir to blend.
7. Place the tabbouleh in a decorative bowl and line the edges with romaine lettuce leaves that have been halved.
8. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
