- While wheat is hydrating, mince, chop and dice herbs and vegetables.If necessary, drain remaining water from wheat.
- Grate the peel of one lemon into the bowl with the bulgur wheat.Add all ingredients into the bowl with the bulgur wheat, stir together.Juice the lemons and then whisk the olive oil into the lemon juice to make dressing. **There will be enough dressing for a double recipe**
