How to Make Bulgur Salad With Feta And Pine Nuts

  1. Combine 1 cup bulgur with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup boiling water in a medium bowl.
  2. Cover the bowl and let the bulgur sit until tender, about 30 minutes.
  3. While the bulgur soaks, toast 1/4 cup pine nuts in a small dry skillet over very low heat, tossing constantly until golden brown (3-4 minutes). Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Once the bulgur is tender, drain it in a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently to remove excess liquid. Return the bulgur to the bowl.
  6. Add 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 1/2 cup diced cucumber to the bulgur. Toss gently with half of the lemon-oil dressing.
  7. In a separate bowl, toss 4 cups of mixed lettuce with the remaining dressing.
  8. To serve, top the lettuce with the bulgur mixture and toasted pine nuts.
