What's for supper?

This recipe comes from the summer issue of Country Gardens.

My Mother's Tabbouleh

1c bulghur
6 tomatoes, chopped
1 English cucumber, chopped
1 1/4c chopped fresh parsley
1 1/4 c sliced radishes
3/4c sliced green onions
1 pepper
1/4c chopped fresh mint
1/4c chopped fresh basil
2-3 tsp ground cumin
1/4c oil
salt
fresh lemon juice

The tomatoes I used, again were bland Save-On Food's tomatoes. The parsley was fresh from our square foot garden. The radishes, pepper and fresh basil were from Nanoose Edibles. The mint was actually peppermint from my garden. I broiled chicken breasts (again Save-On, but I am working on this... baby steps) to go along with it. I can't think of how I will use the fresh dill I received from my box, so I decided to dry it along with some of my parsley. Then in the winter I can use it on some potatoes with a little margarine and know that it is organic and local and oh so yummy!
