Cold salad with bulgur

3 servings

20 minutes

Cold bulgur salad is a refreshing dish from Turkish cuisine that combines simplicity and rich flavor. Bulgur, the base of the recipe, is widely used in Eastern cuisine and valued for its nutty aroma and tender texture. In this salad, it harmoniously pairs with sweet tomatoes, fragrant parsley, and the tangy acidity of lemon juice. Olive oil adds tenderness while salt enhances the flavors of the ingredients. After chilling, the salad becomes light and invigorating, perfect for summer days. It can be served as a side dish or on its own alongside meat or vegetable treats. It's not just food—it's a meeting with traditions that conveys the warmth of the Mediterranean and the flavorful richness of Turkey.
