Reviews
I love bulgar wheat and this is a great recipe !
Delicious, made exactly to the recipe.
Delicious! I used left over couscous. I’ll make this often.
This salad is sooooooo good! You don’t have to cook the bulgar as instructed. Put 1C bulgur in bowl and add 1 C boiling water. Give it a quick stir and then cover and let cook in the bowl for an hour. I make mine in the morning and use it for lunch. Turns out perfect every time. This salad is the perfect combination of flavors and always gets compliments.
A unique and great-tasting salad. Bulgur needs only 14 minutes of cooking per instructions on back of bag. I had goat cheese on hand and used it—stinky but yummy.
This was really delicious. Packed with flavor. I had never tried bulgar before and I will come back for this recipe often!
Fabulous recipe … tasty, healthy and keeps for days
Absolutely, delicious! Love this recipe! I followed the instructions on the bulgar packaging instead and it simmered for only 10 minutes instead of an hour. I doubled the recipe! This will be in my refrigerator everyday for the summer! My kids love it, too!
Love this recipe. I use it as a base for many different variations depending on what is in my pantry. I do spread the bulgur on a lined baking sheet to let it cool before mixing it with other ingredients. I prepare the bulgur in my rice cooker which is perfect every time.
I just have to note, the instructions for cooking the bulgar is not very good. It came out dry and charred anywhere the bulgar was touching the pot. It doesn’t need an hour to cook.
