Za'atar-Spiced Bulgur Wheat Salad

Fresh herbs always enhance the flavor of a dish. This bulgur
wheat salad benefits from good amounts of parsley and mint.
Both aromatic, they add a freshness to the dish that you can’t
find using dried herbs. The herbs also add lightness as a nice
contrast to the hearty bulgur wheat.
