Excllent..but one where you definately need to follow it exactly as it states in the directiosn, and definately have to let it sit for 24 hours. Very healthy, Great blend of flavors, the juices from the veggies and herbs sorta trickle down to add to the overall flavor of the bulgar. This is also one that you cannot "skip" or substitute the parsley or mint. Most time consuming part was veggie preparation but I used the food processor to chop so it wasn't too bad. Served with pita breads. Will make again but warning, it does feed a small army!
Layered Lebanese Salad
This twist on a Middle Eastern favorite, tabbouleh salad, is the ultimate make-ahead choice. It needs a full 24-hour chill time so the bulgur will soften and absorb the dressing. It's definitely worth the wait.
