Time 30m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup Bulgar wheat, uncooked
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 tablespoons onions, diced
3/4 cup parsley, diced
1 large tomatoes, diced
2 large figs, diced
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/2 yellow pepper, diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Bring water, pinch of salt and 1 tsp olive oil to a boil in a medium pot. Add Bulgur wheat and stir, then quickly remove from heat and cover. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  • When 15 minutes of time remaining for the Bulgur, prepare other ingredients (except for dressing) and toss in a large bowl.
  • When Bulgur wheat has cooked, add to other ingredients and mix well (it's OK if the Bulgur wheat is still warm).
  • Combine olive oil, turmeric and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over salad and stir to coat. Serve and enjoy!
  • Note: sometimes a bit of diced nectarine makes a nice addition.

This salad is a great starting point, but I think it needs a few tweaks. I'll add some chopped walnuts and maybe a drizzle of balsamic vinegar next time.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less figs next time.

I'm not a big fan of figs, but I loved this salad! The figs were perfectly ripe and sweet, and they paired perfectly with the bulgur and feta. I'll definitely be making this salad again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bulgur. I always have leftover bulgur after I make pilaf, so I'm always looking for new ways to use it up. This salad is a great way to do that.

I love that this salad can be made ahead of time. It's perfect for busy weeknights when I don't have a lot of time to cook. I just make the salad in the morning and then it's ready to eat when I get home from work.

This salad is a great way to use up fresh figs. I had a bunch of figs that were about to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The salad is delicious and it was a great way to use up my figs.

I was skeptical about the combination of figs and bulgur, but I was pleasantly surprised. The sweetness of the figs pairs perfectly with the nutty flavor of the bulgur. I'll definitely be making this salad again.
