I normally don’t regard parsley as the main player in a green leaf salad. However, it deserves some more credit. The chewy green is tempered by the moisture of tomatoes, the softness of olive oil, and the tartness of lemon. With the boost in fiber from the bulgur wheat, this parsley salad is a great way to start any meal. Enjoy!
Bulgur: has more fiber and protein and a lower glycemic index than rice. It is also much higher in most vitamins and minerals. One cup cooked has about 8 grams of dietary fiber and 6 grams protein.

Chop the parsley, removing any hard stems. Finely chop the green onion and tomato. Place the parsley, onion, tomato into a medium-sized bowl and fold the ingredient together. Add the juice of the lemon, the olive oil, and salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Lastly, add the cooked bulgur wheat. Fold all the ingredients until evenly combined.
