BULGUR SALAD WITH LEMON-CUMIN DRESSING

Bulgur Salad With Lemon-Cumin Dressing image

We loved this flavor-packed salad. The salad is refreshing filled with crisp, cool cucumber, sweet yellow tomatoes, and zesty red onion. Lucy's lemon cumin dressing really elevates the salad and makes all the flavors come alive. Don't be surprised if you find yourself going back for thirds.
