Bulgur
20 minStir the tomato paste, paprika, red pepper flakes, and salt into the hot water, then pour over the bulgur. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed.
Vegetables
10 minThinly slice the scallions, chop the parsley and mint, and finely dice the tomatoes.
Combine
5 minStir the olive oil and lemon juice into the cooled bulgur, then mix in the vegetables and herbs. Season to taste with salt and lemon juice.
Serve
Serve chilled, traditionally with lettuce leaves to scoop up the salad.
Tip: The salad tastes best after resting in the refrigerator for half an hour. The bulgur absorbs the dressing and the flavors meld.
