Method

1
Rinse the bulgur, drain thoroughly and soak it in half the lemon juice while preparing the herbs.
2
Chop the parsley and mint finely with a sharp knife, avoiding bruising them.
3
Combine herbs, tomato, spring onion and softened bulgur.
4
Dress with olive oil, remaining lemon juice and salt just before serving.

Lebanese tabbouleh is principally a parsley salad, with fine bulgur supporting rather than dominating the fresh herbs.
