Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fine bulgur wheat
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 large Persian cucumber or ½ English cucumber, diced
  • ½ medium red onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Method
 

  1. Place the bulgur in a heatproof bowl, pour 1 cup boiling water over it, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  2. Dice cucumber and red onion, and chop the parsley and mint.
  3. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  4. Combine bulgur, chickpeas, cucumber, onion, parsley, and mint in a large bowl, toss with the dressing, then top with crumbled feta and extra black pepper.

Notes

The bulgur needs about 10 minutes to soak in hot water while you prep the rest. For best flavor, let the dressed salad sit for 15 minutes before serving so the dressing soaks into the bulgur.
