Bulgur Salad With Tomatoes, Scallions and Herbs Recipe #316346
Food & Wine. "Similar to a tabbouleh, this refreshing grain dish from southeastern Turkey is flavored with lots of scallions and chopped fresh mint, and it has a pink hue from the tomato paste. It is most often served as a starter, either on its own or packed into balls and rolled up in a lettuce leaf."
