Probably one of my favorite salads on a warm day. It is healthy, fresh, and goes great with grilled chicken, steak, lamb, kabobs, you name it! Has a bit of prep time, but is well worth it!<\/p>\n

It is made with bulgur. Bulgur is wheat grain. I use #2 if you buy from a Persian store, otherwise you can find it in a store that has more health options like Whole Foods, or Sprouts.<\/p>\n

I also love it because my summer garden usually has tomatoes, mint, cucumbers and scallions or chives,(which I often use instead of scallions). And in the winter I have Parsley and the mint.<\/p>\n

This makes quite a bit, enough for 6 large side servings, so 1\/2 the recipe if needed or enjoy the leftovers later.<\/p>\n

\"SAMSUNG<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

1 cup bulgur<\/p>\n

A couple pinches of salt<\/p>\n

2 tomatoes, seeded and diced. (Or use grape, cherry, what ever. Just imagine what amount 2 tomatoes would be).<\/p>\n

1 cucumber peeled, seeded and diced (I like using English cucumber, not as many seeds and thinner skin, so you can leave some on).<\/p>\n

3 scallion greens (green onions)<\/p>\n

1 cup fresh parsley finely chopped (can use a combo of cilantro and parsley)<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped<\/p>\n

1\/2 – 3\/4 cup Feta cheese (optional, But Good)<\/p>\n

Zest from Lemon, you’re using the juice why not the zest?<\/p>\n

LEMON DRESSING:<\/p>\n

4 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice<\/p>\n

4 Tablespoons olive oil<\/p>\n

1 large clove garlic, minced<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp kosher salt<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) Put 1 1\/4 cup water and salt\u00a0 in medium glass bowl and microwave till boiling. (or you can use chicken broth for more flavor but don’t add the salt). Quickly add the bulgur, stir and cover. Let it sit for about 20 minutes. The water will absorb. Let cool.<\/p>\n

2) Fluff bulgur with a fork and add everything else, up to dressing.<\/p>\n

3) Mix all the dressing ingredients in a bowl, or put in a jar and shake to combine.<\/p>\n

4) Add dressing a few minutes\u00a0 before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
