    Start by rinsing the bulgur wheat in cold water and placing it in a bowl. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the bulgur, cover it with a lid or plastic wrap, and let it sit for about 20 minutes until all the water is absorbed.

    Meanwhile, chop the tomato and cucumber into small pieces. You should have about 1 cup of tomatoes and half a cup of cucumbers.

    After 20 minutes, fluff the bulgur with a fork and let it cool slightly.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled bulgur, chopped tomatoes, cucumber, and cottage cheese. Make sure everything is mixed well.

    Chop the parsley and mint finely, and add them to the mixture. These herbs bring so much freshness to the dish.
