  1. Really nice bulgur salad that also was a hit with our 3 year old son. I actually thought it was nicer before adding the chickpeas, so next time I might leave them out.
     
  2. This is great! I left the cranberries and did not add anyother dried fruit. But i love it for a light supper and it is also easy to brown bag. Thank you for sharing!
     
  3. This was really tasty and very filling! I subbed raisins for the cranberries and skipped the almonds (didn't have any on hand), but it was still outstanding! I gave four stars only b/c I might add a bit more spice next time as it got a little bland as it sat in the fridge, but overall very good.
     
  4. This is very good. The chickpeas gives some protein and the bulgur has complex carbs, so this works fine as a light lunch. I got 6 lunches out of this; I think this would work for 8 people as a side dish.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
