Instructions: Put bulgur into a strainer and run cold water over it. Transfer it to a bowl, cover it with cold water to a depth of one inch above the top of the wheat. Let it stand 15 to 30 minutes.

Drain the bulgur in a strainer lined with cheesecloth. Gather the cheesecloth and squeeze to extract most of the water. Put the bulgur into a serving bowl and add all of the remaining ingredients (except lettuce). Toss to blend thoroughly. Garnish the serving bowl with lettuce leaves.

This recipe yields 8 servings.

Comments: May also be cooked. Rather than soaking in water, heat the water and bulgur together for 15 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients.
