Best Greek Style Bulgur Salad With Chickpeas Feta And Olives Recipes
GREEK-STYLE BULGUR SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND OLIVES
From "The PDQ Vegetarian Cookbook" by Donna Klein. The olives and feta are essential in this recipe as they give it the "kick". I made the recipe using feta but it can be made vegan by replacing the feta with 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts. The bulgar didn't completely cook for me at first and I had to place the whole pot over low heat - I think it was a little overcooked in the end. I used vegetable broth and the only bulgur I could find - I believe it was medium - which may have resulted in the cooking problem. I also used a 19 oz can of chickpeas, as that was what I had on hand.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the broth, lemon juice, onion powder, and garlic powder barely to a simmer. Remove from heat and let cool five minutes.
- Add the bulgur, stirring well to combine. Let stand until the bulgur has absorbed all the liquid and feels dry, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Add the chickpeas, olives and cheese, tossing well to combine.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Cover and refrigerate a minimum of 2 hours or up to 2 days and serve chilled or at room temperature.
GREEK-STYLE CHICKPEA SALAD
This is a light, healthy, and refreshing salad! I found this gem in the Cook's Illustrated "The Best Light Recipe" book and I have made it many times since. Basically you are just chopping things up and throwing them together in a bowl so even the kids can help with this one. Very tasty, and excellent served over a bed of greens and herb garlic pita chips. I've tweaked it ever so slightly. This salad can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Season with additional lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oil as needed before serving. Very easy clean up, and your salad is ready in less than 20 minutes.

BULGUR SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA, AND BASIL
Bulgur is one of those ancient grains that is coming back into style because it is healthful and versatile. This particular salad is made with cracked wheat which cooks up fast and gives the salad a nutty flavor and chewy component. I make this with a homemade red wine vinaigrette made with extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, a little mustard (whole grain), salt and pepper.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Stir in bulgur and bouillon. Return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand until water is absorbed, an additional 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool.
- Stir remaining ingredients, except parsley and basil into the bulgur.
- Sprinkle with the fresh parsley and basil.
- NOTE: Other grains work well with this salad such as brown rice or quinoa, adjust cooking times. Dried parsley will also work well, just use 1/3 of the amount.
