Add the bulgar wheat and salt to boiling water and let it stand for 15 minutes. Don’t let it boil. Drain any excess water before you add it to the salad.
Meantime, chop up the cucumber, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, parsley and mint leaves. Combine with the bulgar wheat, hemp seeds and a finely chopped clove of garlic. Season with salt and finish with the juice of a lemon, a dash of olive oil and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Serve the tabbouleh wrapped in lettuce leaves or enjoy it with warm pitta bread and hummus or with feta or baba ganoush.
