How to Make Bulgur Red Pepper Cucumber And Cheese Salad
- Rinse 1 cup of bulgur wheat in a fine-mesh sieve and place in a large bowl. Pour 2 cups of boiling water over the bulgur, stir gently with a fork, cover, and let soak for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the bulgur soaks, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Once the bulgur has absorbed the water, fluff it with a fork. Add the dressing, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint. Mix well to combine.
- Add 1 cup diced red bell pepper, 1 cup diced cucumber, and 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (or your preferred cheese). Gently fold everything together.
- If using, stir in 1/2 cup oil-cured black olives just before serving.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled, garnished with lime wedges.
