Ingredients

  • 1 cup bulgur wheat
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare Bulgur Wheat: In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the bulgur wheat, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the wheat is tender and water is absorbed.
  • Fluff Bulgur: Once cooked, fluff the bulgur with a fork and let it cool to room temperature.
  • Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked bulgur with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, parsley, mint, and feta cheese.
  • Dress the Salad: Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice over the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss everything until well combined.
  • Chill and Serve: To allow the flavors to meld refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes. When ready to serve, transfer to a serving platter.
