In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the bulgur, stir, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 10 minutes or until the bulgur is tender and the water is absorbed.

Juice the lemon and mix the juice with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste in a small bowl to create the dressing.
