Step 1
Start by cooking the Multi-Grain Medley using broth instead of water, just like the package says. Once it’s done, let it cool completely. While that’s happening, whisk together some olive oil, fresh lemon juice, finely chopped shallots, and a bit of mustard in a big bowl. When the grains have cooled, toss them into the bowl with the dressing. Add the chopped veggies and herbs, then give everything a good mix. Taste and season with salt and pepper as you like. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese on top before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This salad is fresh, vibrant, and full of bright flavors that awaken your taste buds. It combines wholesome ingredients like parsley, tomatoes, and bulgur with a zesty lemon dressing, making it both healthy and satisfying. Perfect for a light lunch or a colorful side dish.
How to serve
Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside grilled meats, pita bread, or hummus. It also works well as a refreshing side for a summer picnic or as part of a mezze platter.
Storage & leftovers
Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate if possible to maintain the freshness of the herbs and prevent the bulgur from becoming too soggy.
