To assemble

  1. 2
    Soak the bulgur 15 minutes in boiling water, drain and squeeze well.
    ⚙ SoakingBowl
    💡Soak in plenty of water, well above what's being soaked: legumes and grains swell and drink water, and whatever sticks out stays hard. Drain well before continuing.
  2. 3
    Finely chop the herbs with a knife, when they are completely dry.
    KnifeCutting board
    💡Chop with a sharp knife, not in a food processor, and with completely dry herbs: wet or bruised herbs darken and the salad turns watery.
  3. 4
    Finely chop the green onion.
