Soak for 20 minutes, until slightly softened. Drain through a cheesecloth-lined strainer, and press the bulgur against the strainer to squeeze out excess water. Transfer to a large bowl, and toss with the garlic, lemon juice, parsley, mint, tomatoes, scallions, and salt. Leave at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, so that the bulgur can continue to absorb liquid and swell. Add the olive oil, toss together, taste and adjust seasonings.
