How to Make Tomato Wheat Salad
- Combine 1 cup of bulgur wheat with 1 1/2 cups of boiling water in a medium bowl.
- Cover the bowl and let it stand for 20-25 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
- While the bulgur is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients: dice 2 cups of tomatoes, 1/2 cup of cucumber, and 1/4 cup of red onion.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked bulgur, diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup olive oil.
- Whisk together 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste for the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- To serve, warm the pita bread and spoon the salad into the pita pockets. Garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of feta cheese, if desired.
