- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup uncooked bulgur
- 1 cup chopped seeded plum tomato
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

- Arrange pita wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Lightly brush pita wedges with 2 tablespoons oil; bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until golden.
- Combine 1 cup water and bulgur in a large bowl. Let stand 30 minutes or until bulgur is tender. Drain bulgur through a fine sieve; discard liquid. Place bulgur in a medium bowl.
