Bulgur and Sweet-Pepper Salad

Submitted by dicentra

"This was really good! It is a nice balance of sweet and vinegar. You might try replacing lentils for the bulgur for something different. Make sure your peppers and tomatoes are ripe so that they are sweet. This is best at room temperature after flavors have had time to “mingle.” Serve with a green vegetable and white wine."
