I made the bulgur salad for a party and the guests loved it. It is easy to prepare in advance and the combination of bulgur and mint and cilantro and lime juice is absolutely tasty! As I love spicy food, I added 2-3 chopped fresh red chillies! Thanks for this recipe, Fay, I'll recommend it to my friends!
