1. In a medium pot, bring 2 cups well-salted water to a boil. Add bulgur; cover and reduce heat to low, and cook until tender, 8 to 12 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse well under cool water. Drain completely and transfer to a large bowl.
2. In a smaller bowl, whisk together lemon juice, salt, cumin, pepper and allspice; whisk in oil. Pour dressing over bulgur and toss well. Toss in parsley, green garlic, mint, tomato, cucumber and scallions. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Drizzle with more oil just before serving.
