Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this salad to be a bit too dry. I think I'll add some more dressing next time.

The bulgur in my salad was undercooked. I had to cook it for an extra 10 minutes.

This salad is way too tart for my taste. I think I'll try using less lemon juice next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong but my salad turned out bland. I think I might have used too much water when cooking the bulgur.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover bulgur. I added some grilled chicken and it was a complete meal.
