Ingredients

  • 1 cup medium-grind bulgur
  • 1 1/4 cups boiling water
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1/3 cup crumbled Feta cheese
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the bulgur in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water. Top with a plate or plastic wrap and let sit for 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. If any liquid is leftover, strain it out. Let the bulgur cool while you prep the rest of the salad.
  2. In a serving bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt and pepper.
  3. When the bulgur is ready add it to the serving bowl and toss together with the dressing already in the bowl.
  4. Add in the shredded carrots, green onions, cilantro, mint, almonds and feta. Gently toss everything together until combined. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to serve.

Notes

  • If you plan to make the salad in advance wait until just before serving to add in the toasted almonds so that they stay crunchy.
  • The salad will keep for several days in the fridge.
