Name: Bulgur Salad
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 200 g medium grain bulgur; 400 ml hot water or vegetable broth; 250 g cucumber; 450 g ripe tomatoes; 200 g green bell pepper; 100 g red onion; 50 g fresh parsley; 25 g fresh mint leaves; 60 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice; 60 ml extra virgin olive oil; 5 g salt; 2 g freshly ground black pepper

Steps

Prepare Bulgur

Place the bulgur in a heatproof bowl, pour hot water or vegetable broth over it, then cover. Let it stand for 15-20 minutes until the bulgur softens and absorbs the liquid. Then fluff it with a fork.

Chop Vegetables

While the bulgur rests, wash and finely dice the cucumber, tomatoes, green bell pepper, and red onion. Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves as well.

Combine and Season

In a large bowl, combine the softened bulgur with the finely chopped vegetables and herbs. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill nicely. Serve cold, either as a standalone dish or as a side with meats or fish.
