Sweet Breakfast Tabouli

Tabouli is a Middle Eastern chilled salad in which bulgur (a form of cracked whole-grain wheat) is dressed in olive oil, mint, parsley, garlic and lots of tomatoes and cucumbers. This fruity version takes very little time to prepare and puts a twist on the mint and lemon flavors by making it sweet instead of savory.
