Cindy's Tabouli

My Aunt Cindy made this last week's for my cousin's baby shower. It was a huge hit! It is the perfect summer salad!

1 cup bulgar wheat (look for it in the International aisle)
1 cup boiling water
2 large carrots, diced
1 medium green pepper, diced
1 medium cucumber, diced
3 medium tomatoes, diced
1 cup parsley, chopped
1 cup green onions, sliced
1/4 cup mint leaves
feta cheese (optional)

Dressing:
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Put bulgar wheat in a large mixing bowl and pour boiling water over it. Let it stand for 10 minutes, then stir gently. Mix together dressing and pour over bulgar wheat. Add remaining ingredients annd toss gently to mix. Cover the salad and refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.
