Bring the bulgur with 1½ the amount of water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes covered. When the bulgur is tender, strain the water and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile chop the cucumber and tomatoes in dices and season with salt. Place in a kitchen sieve and let the water drain.
Chop the parsley, garlic, spring onions and mint separately. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice out.
Combine the chopped ingredients except the garlic in a salad bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice and garlic in a measuring cup or bowl. Pour over the salad and toss it well.
If time allows, leave the salad to develop flavours for 15 minutes otherwise you can also serve straightaway or chill in the fridge to serve later.
