This salad is a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

I've never had bulgur before, but I really enjoyed it in this salad. It's a great alternative to rice or quinoa.

I'm not a huge fan of bulgur, but this salad was surprisingly good. The dressing is really what makes it.

Not bad, but not great. The bulgur was a bit too chewy for my taste.

Easy and delicious! I used quinoa instead of bulgur and it turned out great.

This bulgur Greek salad is a delightful dish! The bulgur adds a nutty flavor and chewy texture that perfectly complements the fresh vegetables and tangy dressing. I'll definitely be making this again for my next picnic.
