Directions

1
Soak the bulgur wheat in 1 cup of hot water for 30 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water with your hands.
2
In a large bowl, combine the bulgur, carrot, potato, tomato, broccoli, and onion. Season with salt, lemon juice, and torn mint leaves.
3
Arrange lettuce leaves on a serving dish, spoon the salad on top, and drizzle generously with olive oil.
4
Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

💡 Chef's Tip

For extra depth of flavor, soak the bulgur in warm vegetable broth instead of plain water. Black olives or fresh parsley make excellent additions.
