- Number of Servings: 5
Ingredients
75g/3oz bulghur wheat50g/2oz (a good handful) fresh flat-leaf parsley25g/1oz fresh mintjuice of 2 lemons2 Tbs. olive oilsaltfreshly ground black pepper4 small spring onions, trimmed (green onions or scallions)22g/8oz (about 6) perfectly ripe, juicy plums (I often substitute 3 or 4 nectarines for the plums because that's my personal preference)
Note: (I often substitute 3 or 4 nectarines for the plums because that's my personal preference)
Cover the bulghur wheat with cold water and leave for 15 minutes. Chop the parsley and mint finely. Place in a salad bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and a few grinds of pepper. Chop or snip the onions into small pieces.
Halve each plum or nectarine, pull out or cut out the stone, cut them into bite sized pieces and toss them into the herbs and dressing. Squeeze the water from the bulghur wheat with your hands. Drop the grains into the salad bowl and then mix gently with the plus/nectarines, and herbs.
This is even better if you let it sit for an hour or two for flavors to blend and soak into the bulghur more. IT'S AMAZING though, and my all time summer favorite.
