Instructions:
- Place the bulgur in a large bowl.
- Pour enough boiling water over the bulgur to cover it by about an inch.

- Add the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, and spearmint to the bulgur.
- Pour the olive oil and lemon juice over the bulgur mixture.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss everything together until well combined and evenly coated with the dressing.
- For the best flavor, let the tabbouleh sit for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Tips:
