30g fresh mint, chopped
200g cucumber, peeled and chopped
180g bell peppers, chopped (orange, green or red)

120ml freshly-squeezed lemon juice

Method:
Place the bulgur wheat in a small bowl. Just cover with boiling water then set aside until all the water has been absorbed.
In the meantime, combine the parsley, mint, cucumber, bell peppers, tomatoes, spring onions and chopped nasturtiums in a salad bowl. Stir in the softened bulgur wheat (strain off any excess water) then set aside until cold.
Now whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and allspice in a small bowl. Pour this dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Garnish with the nasturtium flowers and serve.
