This salad is a complete disaster. The flavors don't go together at all and the texture is mushy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much bulgur.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of honey next time.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon juice and salt and pepper to give it more flavor.

I'm not a big fan of tarragon, so I substituted it with mint. The salad was still delicious, but I think the tarragon would have added a nice touch.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. It's also a good source of protein and fiber.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a winner. It's a great way to use up leftover bulgur and lentils.
