Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 as a side dish (2 to 3 as a main course)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 cup bulgur
1½ teaspoons salt, divided
⅓ cup diced red onion
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice, from 2 lemons
1 large garlic clove, finely minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 small English (or hothouse) cucumber, seeded and diced
½ cup finely chopped fresh dill
⅓ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Steps:

Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Place the bulgur in a large bowl with ½ teaspoon salt and 1¼ cups boiling water. Cover the bowl tightly with saran wrap and let sit for 15-30 minutes, or until all of the water is absorbed. Let cool, then fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, to soften the bite of the raw onions, place them in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Let sit for ten minutes, and then drain. (Feel free to skip this step if you don't mind the strong taste of raw onions.)
In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, sugar, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Add the cooled bulgur, onion, bell pepper, cucumber, dill, parsley, and chick peas. Toss well, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Chill until ready to serve or up to two days. Serve cold or room temperature.

BULGUR WHEAT SALAD WITH TOMATO AND CUCUMBER

Bulgur Wheat Salad With Tomato and Cucumber image

A delicious and healthy side salad. Buglur is high in fiber and low in fat, rich in B vitamins, iron, phosphorous and manganese and has been a staple of the Mediterranean diet for thousands of years. This recipe is so simple and yet each flavor blends perfectly together. Originally found in one of my South Beach Diet cookbooks, this recipe has been tweaked just a bit to suit my tastes. Note: prep time includes time for bulgur to soak in water.
