Description:

No Mezze is complete without this beautiful green salad made fresh in your kitchen. Wash 1 cup fine burghol (crushed wheat), drain and set aside. Finely chop two cups parsley (flat-leaf if possible), 1/2 cup mint, 1 cup green onions, 1 cup tomatoes and blend with burghol. Dress with 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and a teaspoon of salt. Most people like a dash of cinnamon and black pepper. A little hot pepper is also nice. Chill before serving. Traditionally, lettuce or cabbage leaves are used to eat this salad - no knife or fork necessary.
