This is one of my favorite salads, made with out lettuce!
Seriously, favorite does not even seem like a strong enough word.
This salad makes a great side dish with any meal, but for me, I could eat this
salad as my meal.
I love the combination of flavors, it is always fresh tasting, and refreshing!
The best part is that it is so easy to make!
You can purchase the bulgar wheat, in the grocery store near the rice and beans.
Or you can buy it in a box (Near East brand) where the bulgar is packaged
with a spice mix.
Either way this salad ranks at the top of the list for me.
As Always,
ENJOY!
