Ingredients:
- 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
Instructions:
- Place the bulgur and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the saucepan, and cook until the water is fully absorbed and the bulgur becomes tender and fluffy, which will take around 12 to 15 minutes. Allow it to cool down completely.
- In a small jar or container with a tight lid, combine the oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a few twists of freshly ground pepper. Close the lid securely and shake well to mix the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, mix the romaine lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, parsley, scallions, mint, and the cooked bulgur. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
