Ingredients 

1/2 cup fine burghul, rinsed
4 tomatoes, finely chopped
2 bunches parsley, stems removed, washed and well-dried, finely chopped

1/2 cup lemon juice or Cortas bottled lemon juice
3–4 Tbsp Extra Virgin olive oil
1 tsp salt

Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. It should be lemony and full of freshness. Suhtein!
