This Mediterranean-inspired bulgur salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish, perfect for a light meal or side.
Place the bulgur wheat in a large bowl.
Using a large bowl allows for easy mixing later.
Pour the boiling water over the bulgur and cover. Let it sit for 30 minutes until the water is absorbed.
Fluff the bulgur with a fork after soaking to separate the grains.
Roast the red bell pepper in the oven until softened. Peel, seed, and slice into strips.
Roasting enhances the sweetness of the pepper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic powder.
Adjust the lemon juice to taste for desired tanginess.
Combine the bulgur, dressing, mint, cilantro, scallions, cucumber, olives, and feta cheese in the large bowl.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the feta cheese.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad garnished with additional herbs or lemon wedges.
Serve with a side of pita bread for a complete meal.
