Fattoush-ish Salad image

In this dinner party-friendly Middle East-inspired dish-think fattoush (Lebanese bread salad) meets tabbouleh. We finely chop the lettuce and vegetables to stretch the serving size, then add bulgur for bulk. The lemon-honey combo in the dressing mimics sumac-a berry with a fruity, astringent flavor that's found throughout the Middle East and often used in fattoush.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup cracked bulgur wheat
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head romaine, finely shredded
2 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves
4 scallions, sliced
Small handful fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Bring the bulgur and 1 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover and cook until all the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender and fluffy, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Put the oil, lemon zest and juice, vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small jar or container with a lid. Secure the lid, and shake to combine.
  • Put the romaine, tomatoes, bell peppers, parsley, scallions, mint and cooked bulgur in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette, and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and radishes that were about to go bad, and this salad was the perfect way to use them up.
