Melon and Mint Tabbouleh

Melon and Mint Tabbouleh

A twist on a classic mediterranean salad. The melon makes it sweet instead of savory. Any kind of melon will do. Should keep in the fridge about 5 days. The lime juice will slowly absorb into the bulgar, so add extra lime each day to bring back the tang.
