Tips:

Fresh and Vibrant Ingredients: Use fresh and vibrant ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Look for crisp spinach, tender bulgur, and flavorful herbs.
Cook the Bulgur Properly: Follow the package instructions to cook the bulgur properly. Undercooked bulgur will be hard and unpleasant to eat, while overcooked bulgur will be mushy.
Drain the Bulgur Thoroughly: Drain the bulgur thoroughly after cooking to remove excess water. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Use a Variety of Herbs: Don't be afraid to use a variety of herbs in the salad. Fresh parsley, mint, and cilantro all pair well with spinach and bulgur.
Add Some Crunch: Add some crunch to the salad with chopped nuts or seeds. Walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all great options.
Don't Overdress the Salad: A little dressing goes a long way in this salad. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
