    Bulgur is a common ingredient in a Middle Eastern cuisine. Usually we make tabbouleh salad with bulgur but this salad is a bit different.

    Being a cereal and a whole grain makes the bulgur very filling and this salad can even be considered a meal because you will feel very full after eating it. How many salad recipes do you know that can do that?!

    The bulgur is parboiled and doesn’t need to be cooked. The only preparation you need to do in order to consume it, soak it in water. Easy enough!

    In this salad recipe, I was inspired by this recipe who used carrot juice instead of water to soak the bulgur and I wanted to try and soak it in beet juice. It gave the bulgur a very nice pink color and a great taste! With this method, you can use any juice you prefer to soak the bulgur. This is the time to be creative! ☺

    To complete the salad, I added cucumbers, carrots, yellow peppers, parsley and pomegranate seeds. The outcome is full of color and taste!

    The salad looks so pretty and can also be a festive dish for a holiday meal too. To cut the carrots into thin sticks, I used a mandolin slicer and for parsley, I used herb scissors. Of course you can simply use a knife to cut them but with these tools the vegetables look better in the salad and the carrot specifically tastes better, in my opinion, when it’s cut to sticks instead of big chunks.
