How to Make Bulgur Salad With Chickpeas Feta And Basil

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil.
  2. Stir in 1 cup bulgur and 1 vegetable bouillon cube (or 1 teaspoon bouillon powder).
  3. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
  5. Fluff the cooked bulgur with a fork and transfer to a large bowl to cool.
  6. While the bulgur cools, prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Add 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 4 ounces feta cheese (crumbled), and the vinaigrette to the cooled bulgur. Gently toss to combine.
  8. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley).
  9. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
