   • Soak the bulgur in cold water, ensuring it’s completely covered, and let it soak for about an hour. This step helps soften the bulgur and makes it more palatable.

2. Drain and Mix:

   • After soaking, squeeze out any excess water from the bulgur using your hands. Place the bulgur in a mixing bowl.
   • Finely chop the fresh parsley, scallion, tomatoes, and fresh mint. Ensure that the vegetables are minced very fine for the best texture and flavor.
   • Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the bulgur. Sprinkle in the dried mint for an extra burst of flavor.

3. Seasoning:

   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Adjust the proportions according to your taste preferences. This dressing adds a zesty and tangy flavor to the salad.

4. Combine and Chill:

   • Pour the dressing over the bulgur and vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until well combined, ensuring that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
   • Cover the salad and refrigerate it for a while to allow the flavors to meld together. This step enhances the taste and makes the salad even more delicious.

5. Serve:

   • Once chilled, transfer the Tabbouleh to a serving bowl or dish. For a traditional presentation, arrange Romaine leaves or fresh tender grape leaves around the bowl.
   • The leaves serve as the perfect utensil for scooping up the salad, adding a refreshing crunch to each bite.
