Instructions:
- Place the bulgur in a large bowl.

- 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.
