    Rinse the bulgur wheat under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve. Transfer to a medium saucepan, add the hot water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

    ~17 min

Tips

  • For extra crunch, toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
  • This salad can be prepared ahead of time. Store the dressing separately and toss with the salad just before serving to prevent the greens from wilting.
