    2       c            Water
      2/3   c            Minced red onion
    1       t            Salt
      1/2   ts           Ground allspice
      1/2   c            Finely chopped fresh mint

                         -crumbled
    2 1/2   c            Finely chopped fresh parsley
                         -leaves (preferably flat-
                         -leafed)
      1/2   c            Finely chopped scallion
      1/4   c            Fresh lemon juice
      1/4   c            Extra-virgin olive oil
    1 1/2   c            Finely-diced seeded seedless
                         -cucumber
 
   Put bulgur in a heatproof bowl. Bring water to a boil and pour over
   bulgur. Let bulgur stand 1 hour.
   
   While bulgur is soaking, in a large bowl, stir together onion, salt,
   allspice, and dried mint, if using (do not add fresh mint now), and
   let stand 30 minutes. Drain bulgur in a sieve, pressing hard to
   extract as much water as possible, and add to onion mixture with
   remaining ingredients, including fresh mint, if using.
   
   Toss salad well and season with salt and pepper.
