Soak the bulgur in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain the excess water so the sauce balance is not diluted.
Finely chop the tomatoes and greens, keeping them separate so they do not water down the bulgur.
Open up the sumac with lemon juice and olive oil so the sourness is not concentrated in one spot.
Toss the main ingredients with the sauce for 1 minute without crushing them, so the pieces do not fall apart.
Rub the onion with sumac for 1 minute so its bite softens and spreads evenly through the salad.
Sprinkle the fresh herb on top at the last moment so the sumac aroma is not covered.
Transfer the salad to a serving plate and bring it to the table while the sauce is still glossy.
💡 Tip: A short soak in hot water preserves the separate texture of the bulgur.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Spread it in a single layer on a wide plate and serve Mediterranean-style with hot pide and a small bowl of olive oil.
