This salad, in addition to bulgur, can also be combined with sweet couscous to preserve a certain Moroccan flavor, or with pearl barley or lentils to give the dish an Italian flavor. It is also very tasty cold, but I still think it is better to warm it up a little. As for chicken broth, I can say that it is almost always in the freezer, as it gives a rich flavor to cereals and risotto. But if you do not have it, just use 2 cups of water.
