This is pretty tasty. I have very little prior experience with bulgur so didn't know what to expect from that ingredient - the overall taste of the salad is nice but the texture of the bulgur will take some getting used to. After 15 min. soaking there was a lot of liquid left so I let it go another 15 min. and most of the liquid was gone then. Doubled the recipe and it made good, easy lunches for a couple days. Thanks for the recipe!
