Description

A refreshing and nutritious salad combining bulgur wheat (or quinoa), fresh vegetables, herbs, and a sprinkle of feta cheese, perfect for a light lunch or as a side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup bulgur wheat (or quinoa for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/2 cup pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup chickpeas (optional, for added protein)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 12 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the bulgur or quinoa according to package instructions and let it cool completely.
  • While it cooks, dice the cucumber, red onion, and chop the parsley and mint.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooled bulgur (or quinoa), cucumber, red onion, parsley, mint, pistachios, and chickpeas (if using).
  • Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then toss to combine.
  • Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for a couple of hours for enhanced flavor.

Notes
