Bulgur Salad with Feta

100 grams bulgur

200 milliliters vegetable broth

250 grams cherry tomatoes

150 grams chickpeas

5 dried tomatoes

15 grams fresh mint

15 grams fresh parsley

100 grams feta

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 lemon

40 milliliters orange juice

salt and pepper(to taste)

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)

Toast Bulgur First 🔥
Dry toast the bulgur in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes before adding broth to enhance its nutty flavor and prevent a mushy texture.
Strategic Hydration Timing ⏱️
Pour hot vegetable broth over bulgur and let it rest covered for exactly 15 minutes—this absorbs flavors perfectly without overcooking.
Citrus Dressing Balance 🍋
Mix your lemon and orange juice with olive oil in a 1:1 ratio, then taste and adjust—the acidity should brighten without overpowering the herbs and feta.
Herb Layering Strategy 🌿
Add half the fresh mint and parsley to the warm bulgur for flavor infusion, then sprinkle the remaining fresh herbs just before serving to maintain their vibrant color and freshness.
Make-Ahead Feta Trick 🧀
Add feta cheese only 30 minutes before serving to prevent it from becoming overly soft and absorbing excess dressing—it stays creamy and maintains its structural integrity.
