Directions

Rinse and drain bulgar; place in a bowl. Stir in the boiling water. Cover and let stand for 1 hour or until liquid is absorbed. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the onion, salt and allspice; let stand 30 minutes. Drain bulgar and squeeze dry; add bulgar and remaining ingredients to onion mixture. Toss gently to combine.

Bulgar is a type of wheat. Go to a natural food store and buy it in bulk. It is less expensive.

This sounds to be a really healthy meal. What is Bulgar? A grain?
