This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover roasted vegetables and added them to the salad. It turned out great!

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a favorite. It's so versatile and can be made with whatever vegetables you have on hand. I also like to add some grilled chicken or fish to it for a little extra protein.

This salad was amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The flavors were so fresh and bright, and the bulgur added a nice chewy texture. I will definitely be making this again.
