Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 cups boiling water
1 cube vegetable bouillon
1 cup dry lentils
1 cup bulgur
2 cups boiling water
1 cup minced fresh parsley
½ cup minced sweet onion
¼ cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Combine 4 cups boiling water and bouillon cube in a saucepan until dissolved; add lentils and cook over medium heat until lentils are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain excess water.
  • Put bulgur in a heat-proof bowl; pour in 2 cups boiling water. Let mixture stand until bulgur has absorbed most of the water and is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain excess water.
  • Combine lentils, bulgur, onion, and parsley in a large bowl.
  • Mix chicken broth, red wine vinegar, cider vinegar, mustard, olive oil, garlic, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, basil, cumin, salt, hot sauce, and black pepper in a jar.

Not bad, but not great either. I think it needs more flavor.

This salad was a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning or maybe some fresh herbs.

I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but this salad was really good. The bulgur and vegetables helped to balance out the flavor of the lentils.

Overall, this was a good salad. I liked the combination of lentils and bulgur, and the dressing was tasty. However, I found that the salad was a bit too dry. I think it would have been better with a bit more oil or dressing.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning or maybe some fresh herbs. I also found that the bulgur was a bit too chewy for my liking.

I'm not usually a fan of bulgur, but this salad was really good! The lentils and vegetables were cooked perfectly and the dressing was flavorful without being too heavy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This lentil and bulgur salad was very refreshing! I used fresh parsley and mint from my garden and it really made the dish. I also added a bit of extra lemon juice and olive oil, which I think helped to balance out the flavors.
