Steps:
- If time allows soak lentils in cold water to cover an hour or more. Drain. Soak onion in salted water to cover until ready to serve.
- Put 1 tablespoon oil in a large deep saucepan, and turn heat to medium. A minute later add garlic and cook until fragrant, another minute or so. Add tomato, cayenne and cumin and cook until tomato is soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add bulgur and cook, stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, then add liquid and lentils. Bring to a boil, then cover, and adjust heat so mixture simmers steadily. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until lentils and bulgur are tender and all liquid is absorbed. If mixture starts to dry out, add liquid as needed and continue cooking. You will definitely need to add liquid if you did not soak the lentils. If mixture is too wet, raise heat a bit and cook uncovered, stirring, until it dries out.
- Toss herbs and lettuce with remaining olive oil and lemon juice to taste; add salt and pepper to taste. Serve lentil-bulgur mixture topped with dressed greens, drained onions and a dollop of yogurt on the side.

- Rinse lentils and transfer them to a pot. Fill with water, enough to cover them by 2-3 inches, and boil for 20-30 minutes or until cooked but not mushy. Drain well and set aside.
- In the meanwhile, transfer bulgur to a heatproof bowl, fill with 3 cups boiling water and let it sit for about 25 minutes.When bulgur is soft and tender drain it and transfer it to a large bowl.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, peppers, and olives to the bowl without mixing. You want the bulgur to stay to the bottom of the bowl in order to absorb the juices from the vegetables.Add cumin, salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil.Cover the vegetables with the lentils and refrigerate until cold or overnight.
- Before serving mix everything well, taste and adjust salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil. If you’re not extremely happy with the taste it probably needs some more salt, olive oil, and lemon juice :-)
