1
Rinse the Bulgur
Place the bulgur wheat in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes to remove any dust or impurities.
2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water to season it.
3
Cook the Bulgur
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed bulgur to the saucepan. Stir gently, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 12-15 minutes until the bulgur absorbs all the water and becomes tender.
4
Fluff and Add Olive Oil
Once the bulgur is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff it with a fork and drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over it, mixing well.

5
Mix in Optional Ingredients
If desired, add lemon juice, chopped parsley, diced tomatoes, and cucumber to the bulgur. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients and adjust seasoning if needed.
