Ingredients
- 1 cup dried bulgur wheat medium or coarse (or quinoa for GF)
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup diced English cucumber
- ½ cup chopped flatleaf parsley
- ½ cup chopped mint leaves
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 15.5 ounce can chickpeas drained
- ½ cup shelled pistachios
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled or cubed
- 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2-3 teaspoons honey
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Set a medium saucepot on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the dried bulgur wheat and 2 cups of water. Stir and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and lower the heat, until the grains have absorbed all the moisture, usually 12 to 15 minutes. *Check package instructions for cooking times if needed.
- Fluff the bulgur wheat with a fork, then remove from heat and cover until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, chop the cucumbers, parsley, mint, red onions, and feta cheese. Drain the chickpeas.
- Set out a small bowl (or measuring pitcher) for the dressing. Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of cracked black pepper. Whisk well.
- Once the bulgur wheat (or quinoa) has cooled to room temperature, move it to a large salad bowl. Add all the fresh produce, chickpeas, pistachios, and crumbled feta to the bowl. Drizzle the lemon dressing over the top and toss well to coat. Taste the salad and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Cover and refrigerate the salad until ready to serve.
Notes
- Keep the salad in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
