  2. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and let it sit until completely cool (approximately 20-30 minutes).

  4. In a large bowl, combine the chopped parsley, spring onions, and tomatoes.
  5. Juice 2-3 large lemons (or to taste) and pour the juice over the salad mixture.
  6. Add 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Start with a small amount of salt and pepper, and adjust according to your preference.
  7. Gently mix all the ingredients together.
  8. Add the cooled burghul to the salad and mix thoroughly.
  9. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. For a more intense lemon flavor add more lemon juice.
  10. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days to allow the flavors to meld.
