Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup medium-grind bulgur
1 tablespoon pine nuts
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (1 ounce)
1/2 shallot, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cucumber, peeled, halved, seeded, and finely diced
1/2 head Boston lettuce, torn into large pieces
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix bulgur with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup boiling water. Cover; let sit until bulgur is tender (but still slightly chewy), about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small dry skillet over very low heat, toast pine nuts, tossing constantly, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and oil. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Drain bulgur in a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to remove excess liquid; return to bowl. Add feta, shallot, parsley, cucumber, and half the dressing; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, toss lettuce with remaining dressing. Top with bulgur mixture and pine nuts.
