Herb and lemon bulgur wheat salad

Herb and lemon bulgur wheat salad


This bulgur wheat salad is very similar to tabbouleh, except that with traditional tabbouleh, the herbs are the main ingredient.


My version is more substantial, as there is a greater proportion of bulgur wheat - which means it's a light but filling side dish. 


A lovely fresh tasting, zingy salad that goes really well with char-grilled meats, fish or vegan kebabs.
