Instructions
Add 8 cups water and the freekeh to a medium saucepan and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Strain.

Whisk together the onions, basil, dill, parsley, oil, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
Add the cooked freekah and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer to a serving bowl and add the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Serve warm or at room temperature. (Alternatively, serve chilled, adding an additional tablespoon of lemon juice just before serving.)
