Mint, lemon juice, and parsley brighten this refreshing salad.

1 1/2 cups boiling water

1 1/2 cups (1/4-inch) cubed Simply Roasted Pork (about 8 ounces)
1 1/2 cups chopped seeded plum tomato
1 cup chopped seeded cucumber
1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
1/3 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced

Combine water and bulgur in a large bowl; cover and let stand 15 minutes or until water is absorbed and bulgur is tender. Add Simply Roasted Pork and next 6 ingredients (through chickpeas); toss gently to combine.
Combine lemon juice and remaining ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle juice mixture over pork mixture; toss to combine. Chill at least 2 hours.
