Mediterranean Bulgur Salad image

I came up with this salad because I had some cucumber to use up, and really liked the results. It's similar to Tabbouleh, but with a more Italian flavor. All amounts can be adjusted to suit your taste.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup bulgur
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 medium fresh tomato, diced
1 small cucumber, seeded and diced
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
5 small artichoke hearts, quartered
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour water into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add salt and bring to a boil over high heat. When water boils, add bulgur and remove from heat. Cover and let stand 30 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
  • In a large bowl, combine bulgur with all remaining ingredients and stir to mix thoroughly.
  • This can be served at room temperature or chilled. Top with fresh parmesan or crumbled feta, if desired.
