Directions

To use bulgur: rinse well in a strainer. Combine bulgur with a cup of cold water in a bowl and let stand until soft to bite, about 1 hour. Drain off any remaining liquid.
To use quinoa: rinse, prepare as usual, and chill.
Mix bulgur (quinoa) with water chestnuts, onions,carrot, chopped mint, oil, and lemon juice. Add salt to taste. If made ahead, cover and refrigerate until next day.
To serve: spoon into a wide, shallow bowl. If using tomatoes, cut into think wedges, chop enough to make 1-2 tablespoons. Sprinkle over salad; surround salad with tomato wedges and lettuce. Garnish with mint sprigs.
