Authentic Lebanese Tabbouleh

Wash several large bunches of flat-leaf parsley and dry them completely.

Finely chop the parsley by hand (avoid using a processor to prevent bruising).

Soak a very small amount of fine bulgur in lemon juice until softened.

Finely dice tomatoes, green onions, and fresh mint leaves.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and dress with plenty of extra virgin olive oil.

Season with salt and extra lemon juice; serve inside fresh lettuce leaves.
