Tips:
- To make sure your bulgur wheat is cooked perfectly, use a 1:2 ratio of bulgur to water. Bring the water to a boil, then add the bulgur and stir. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
- If you don't have any fresh figs on hand, you can use dried figs instead. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
- To add a bit of extra flavor to your salad, try roasting the figs before adding them. Simply place the figs on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until the figs are caramelized and slightly softened.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your salad, such as crumbled feta cheese, chopped walnuts, or sliced almonds.
- This salad can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, be sure to let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
