Method:
- Place the Bulgur wheat in a bowl. Pour over it about twice its volume of boiling water.

- Peel the cucumbers and quarter them lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Slice the cucumbers 1⁄4 in. (6 mm) thick.
- Toss with the coarse salt in a bowl and let stand for 30 minutes.
- Rinse, drain, and pat dry.
- Mix the Bulgur, cucumbers, parsley, scallions, tomato, lemon juice, and olive oil.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange the lettuce leaves on a cold salad plate.
- Mound the tabbouleh on the lettuce leaves and serve.
