Instructions

Cook Bulgur: Add 1 cup bulgur and 2 cups vegetable broth to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until bulgur is tender. Drain off any excess liquid.
Dressing: In a large salad bowl whisk together ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and ½ tsp each salt and pepper.
Prep Salad: To the bowl with the dressing, add all remaining ingredients.
Serve: When bulgur is finished cooking, add it in too, tossing everything to evenly coat. Eat warm or chilled.
