TOMATO AND CORN TABBOULEH SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, cover bulghur with the boiling water. Let stand 45 minutes. Drain well; return to a bowl. Set aside.
• Place corn on cutting board, and, using a sharp knife, carefully cut kernels from cob, taking care that the corn does not roll as you work. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add one-third of the corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until corn is caramelized and golden, about 7 minutes. One minute before the corn is done, add one-third of the minced garlic, and mix with the corn. Transfer corn to a baking pan to cool. When corn is finished, deglaze pan with a little lime juice; stir, using a wooden spoon, to loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Add to corn. Repeat with remaining corn 2 more times. Set aside for corn to cool.
• Combine bulghur with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, tomatoes, remaining lime juice, mint, parsley, and chives. Add corn; mix well. Chill 30 minutes before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
