Ingredients:

Serving

2/3 cup uncooked bulgur
2 cups boiling water
1-1/3 cups diced seeded tomatoes
2 tbsp sliced green onions
1/2 cup diced peeled cucumber
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
3 tbsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp pepper
12 medium lemons

Directions:

Place bulgur in a bowl. Stir in water; cover and let stand for 30 minutes or until moist of the liquid is absorbed. Drain and squeeze dry. Stir in the tomatoes, onions, cucumber and parsley. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the oil, lemon juice, sugar, salt, oregano and pepper; shake well. Pour over bulgur mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate.
Referring to Fig. 1 at top right, score a 1/2-in.-wide strip around top of lemons for basket handles. Score peel from base of handle on one side to opposite side. Cut along lines with a sharp knife. Remove peel. Repeat on other side. Using a sharp knife and spoon, scoop out pulp under handle and inside basket. Fill with salad. Yield: 12 servings.
