Instructions

Place the bulgur in a sieve and rinse under running water until the water runs clear. Put the bulgur and vegetable broth in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover and let it simmer over very low heat for 10 to 20 minutes, until the bulgur is soft and has absorbed all the vegetable broth.

Wash the tomatoes and cut them in half or quarters. Place the chickpeas in a sieve and rinse thoroughly under running water, then let them drain well. Cut the dried tomatoes into thin strips.

Wash the mint and parsley, shake off the excess water, pluck the leaves from the stems, and roughly chop them.

In a large bowl, mix the bulgur, vegetables, chickpeas, and herbs together. Crumble the feta with your fingers and fold it in. Squeeze the lemon and add the lemon juice, orange juice, and olive oil to the salad. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bulgur Hydration Hack 💧
Always toast bulgur briefly in a dry pan before adding liquid to enhance its nutty flavor and improve texture absorption.
Herb Chopping Pro Tip 🌿
Roll fresh mint and parsley leaves tightly before chopping to create clean, precise cuts and prevent bruising.
Flavor Layering Technique 🥄
Let the salad sit for 15-20 minutes after mixing to allow the citrus dressing to fully penetrate the bulgur and develop deeper flavors.
Dried Tomato Preparation 🍅
Quickly rehydrate dried tomatoes in warm vegetable broth for 5 minutes to plump them up and intensify their umami profile.
Feta Integration Trick 🧀
Crumble feta just before serving and fold gently to maintain distinct cheese chunks and prevent over-mixing.
