Bulgur Salad with Feta and Mint

  this looks great, and I would add tomatoes and cucumbers, of course adding parsley would make it more like tabuli...

Bulgur — steamed, dried, crushed wheat kernels — is a snap to prepare and goes well with a variety of herbs. Try chives, cilantro or mint.

Ingredients

1/2 tsp table salt   
  1 1/2 cup(s) uncooked bulgur   
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, or to taste   
4 tsp olive oil   
1/2 tsp black pepper   
1/2 cup(s) crumbled feta cheese   
1/2 cup(s) mint leaves, fresh, chopped   

Instructions

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups of cold water and salt in a small pot; bring to a boil and stir in bulgur. Cover pot, remove from heat and set aside until bulgur is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff bulgur with a fork; allow to cool.
  • Spoon bulgur into a serving bowl. Add lemon juice, oil and pepper; stir well. Add cheese and mint; stir gently, but well. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
