GREEK-STYLE BULGUR SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS, FETA AND OLIVES



Greek-Style Bulgur Salad With Chickpeas, Feta and Olives image

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.
