Instructions

Pour approximately 2 cups of boiling water over the bulgar and cover. Walk away and just let stand for 25 minutes.
Drain excess water from the bulgar by gently pressing the grains in a strainer. Allow to cool. Pour into a bowl and fluff with a fork.
Toss bulgur with remaining ingredients. Cover and place in refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours. It's even better if you wait to serve until the following day.
