Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh sour cherries when they are in season. If fresh sour cherries are unavailable, frozen or dried sour cherries can be used.
- If you are using dried sour cherries, be sure to soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the salad.
- Bulgur is a whole grain that is high in fiber and protein. It is also a good source of iron and magnesium.
- Quinoa is a gluten-free grain that is also high in protein and fiber. It has a slightly nutty flavor.
- Fresh herbs, such as mint, parsley, and cilantro, add a refreshing flavor to the salad. Be sure to use fresh herbs whenever possible.
- A simple vinaigrette dressing is all that is needed to dress the salad. A vinaigrette dressing is made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Conclusion:
Sour cherry bulgur salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. The salad can be made with fresh or frozen sour cherries, and it can be served as a main course or a side dish.
