Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
- Don't overcook the bulgur. It should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- Let the bulgur cool completely before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
- Use a light hand with the vinaigrette. You don't want to overpower the other flavors in the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
