Yield Serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups fine-grain bulgur
3 cups boiling water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
6 ounces drained jarred roasted red peppers, diced (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1 medium head Bibb lettuce, leaves separated
4 pita breads, warmed and cut into wedges

Steps:

  • 1. Place the bulgur in a large bowl. Add the boiling water and set aside, stirring occasionally, until the bulgur has softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the bulgur, shaking the strainer and gently pressing out excess moisture. Return the bulgur to the bowl.
  • 2. Meanwhile, whisk the lemon juice, honey, cumin, cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil until the dressing is smooth.
  • 3. Add the chickpeas, roasted peppers, and parsley to the bowl with the drained bulgur and stir to combine. Drizzle the dressing over the bulgur mixture and toss to combine.
  • 4. Line each individual plate with several lettuce leaves. Mound some bulgur salad over the lettuce and tuck some pita wedges into the salad at several places around the plate. Serve.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use a little more salt and pepper.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of fiber and protein. The bulgur and chickpeas are both excellent sources of these essential nutrients.

I love the versatility of this salad. You can easily customize it to your liking by adding or omitting ingredients. For example, if you don't have roasted peppers on hand, you could use sun-dried tomatoes instead.

This salad is a great make-ahead option for busy weeknights. Simply prepare the bulgur and dressing ahead of time, and then assemble the salad just before serving.
