Step 1
Place the 1 cup fine bulgur in a large bowl and pour 1 cup boiling water over it. Cover and let sit until the water is absorbed and bulgur is tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Fluff the bulgur with a fork. Add the 1 finely chopped tomato, 1/2 cup chopped parsley, and 1/4 cup chopped mint.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of 1 lemon, 3 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon if needed.
Step 5
Fold in the 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds gently. Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
