Ingredients

  • FOR THE BULGUR:
  • 1-½ cup Coarse Bulgur Wheat
  • 3 cups Water
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 2 Tablespoons Pomegranate Molasses
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1  Lemon, Zested
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Chickpeas, Drained And Rinsed

  • 2 cups Cherry Or Grape Tomatoes, Halved Or Quartered

  • 2 teaspoons Aleppo Chili Pepper Flakes
  • ¾ cups Slivered Almonds, Toasted

Preparation

Prepare bulgur wheat by placing grains in a large heat proof bowl. Boil the water, pour it over the grains, cover and wait about 20 minutes. All the water will be absorbed.

While you’re waiting, mix all the dressing ingredients in a bowl. Chop all the veggies for the salad and set aside.

To assemble the salad, combine cooked bulgur, chickpeas, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, carrots, carrot greens or parsley, scallions, and mint in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Add dressing and pepper, toss again. Top with toasted almonds and feta, if using.

Note: To toast the almonds, heat them at 350ºF for 3 minutes.
