Ingredients

5 1/4 ounces dried bulgur (1 cup)

1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped

1 small red onion, finely diced

1 cup (packed) chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 clove garlic, minced

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

Coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation

In a large bowl, pour 1 cup boiling water over the bulgur. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand until water is absorbed, about 30 minutes.

Add cucumber, onion, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to combine. Serve warm, cold, or at room temperature. (To chill, cool, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day.)
