Rest the bulgur with hot water for 5 minutes and finish draining so the grains do not crush.
Dice the tomatoes, finely chop the basil, and keep them separate so they do not water down the bulgur.
For the dressing, whisk olive oil with lemon juice and salt so the bulgur flavor stands forward.
Toss the main ingredients with the dressing for 1 minute without crushing them.
Add two spoonfuls of dressing, taste, and adjust salt and acidity to the bulgur texture.
Rest for 10 minutes and serve at room temperature.
💡 Tip: Adding the basil at the last moment preserves its purple color and sharp aroma.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the salad cool with pomegranate seeds and basil on top.
