Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 cup fine bulgur

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 2 large tomatoes, finely chopped

  • 1 cucumber, diced

  • 2 green bell peppers, finely chopped

  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

  • ½ cup minced fresh parsley

  • ½ cup minced fresh mint leaves

  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • juice of 1 fresh lemon

Directions

  1. Place bulgur in a bowl; stir in boiling water. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in chopped onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. Drain bulgur and return it to the bowl. Add cooked onion, chopped tomatoes, cucumber, green and red bell peppers, green onions, parsley, mint, and red pepper flakes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, and pomegranate molasses. Toss gently until the salad is thoroughly combined. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until serving.
