Cover 1/4 cup of fine bulgur with water and set it aside to soak.

After a few minutes, check the bulgur; it should have absorbed all the water.

Transfer the bulgur to a mixing bowl and cover it with lemon juice to make it tender and fluffy.

Chop fresh tomatoes into very small pieces and add them to the mixing bowl.

Dice the onion (using a combination of scallion and shallot) and add it to the bowl.

Chop a bunch of parsley, cutting off the thick stems but including the thin ones, and add it to the bowl.

Chop fresh mint by stacking the leaves, rolling them into a log, and slicing into strips, then add to the bowl.

Prepare the dressing by mixing freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate container.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently but thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
