CILANTRO-AND-MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Wash the herbs and greens. Fill a large bowl or clean sink with cold water, and add the leaves. Swish them around to loosen dirt, then gently lift out and dry in a salad spinner or on clean kitchen towels. (You can do this up to a day ahead, refrigerating the dry leaves in sealed plastic bags or containers with a paper towel to absorb excess water.)
• When ready to serve, whisk together the salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes, lime juice and olive oil in a small bowl, then check the seasonings. Put the leaves in a large bowl, drizzle the dressing over them and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.

• Place the chopped vegetables, herbs and green onions in a mixing bowl or dish. Add the bulgur and season with salt. Mix gently.

Steps:

• This recipe is a breeze if you have a food processor, a little more work if you don't.
• If using a processor, chop parsley and mint together, using a pulsing action, to ensure that you don't end up pureeing them, and remove to a bowl.
• Repeat with green onions, and add it bowl.
• Chop tomatoes, preferably by hand, into about 1/4" dice, and add to bowl.
• If you are making this for company, you might want to chop everything by hand.
• It makes a much prettier dish than when made in the processor, but I never bother when it is for personal consumption; I just take a little care when using the processor.
• Wash bulghur thoroughly, drain, and soak in fresh hot water for about 1 hour.
• Drain and squeeze as dry as possible, and combine with vegetables.
• Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, and toss thoroughly.
• You can be quite generous with the pepper.
• Refrigerate for about an hour, taste, and adjust salt and pepper.
