Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup coarsely ground bulgur
cold water to cover
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped parsley
3 medium tomatoes -- chopped
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon kelp powder or salt
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, OR
1 tablespoon dried mint
Garnish:
romaine lettuce
fresh parsley or mint

Place bulgur in a bowl and pour enough cold water over bulgur to cover
completely. Allow it to soak for about 10-15 minutes.

Drain bulgur in a sieve or colander lined with a double thickness of
dampened cheesecloth. Wrap the bulgur in the cheesecloth and squeeze
it vigorously until completely dry.

Place the drained bulgur in a deep bowl and add the chopped onion,
parsley, tomatoes, lemon juice and kelp powder or sal. Toss the
mixture gently but thoroughly. Place in refrigerator, covered, for
about one hour to blend flavors. Just before serving, stir in the
olive oil and the chopped mint; adjust seasoning. Mound the salad in
a serving dish surround by romaine lettuce leaves. Garnish with
additional mint or fresh parsley, if desired.

4-6 servings.
