1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic -- crushed
1/2 cup chopped scallions -- include greens
1/2 teaspoon dried mint flakes (I get mine from a bag of mint tea.)
1/4 cup olive oil -- (good quality)
fresh black pepper
2 medium tomatoes -- diced
1 cup fresh parsley -- chopped and packed
OPTIONAL:
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
1 chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup coarsely grated carrot

You should begin to soak the bulgurr at least 3 hours before serving time. It needs to thoroughly marinate and chill.
Combine bulgur, boiling water, and salt in a bowl.
Cover and let stand 15-20 minutes, or until bulgur is chewable.
Add lemon juice, garlic, oil, and mint, and mix thoroughly.
Refrigerate 2-3 hours.
Just before serving add the vegetables and mix gently. Correct seasonings.
Garnish with olives.
