Food & Wine’s Justin Chapple dresses up hearty, simple, no-cook bulgur with a bounty of fresh herbs, a lemony dressing and crunchy roasted sunflower seeds.Slideshow: Salads with Grains
Ingredients
- 1 cup medium bulgur
- 2 cups boiling water
- Kosher salt and pepper
- One 2-ounce bunch of parsley
- One 2-ounce bunch of cilantro
- One 1-ounce bunch of chives
- One 1-ounce bunch of dill
- 1/2 cup salted toasted sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
How to Make It
Step 1
In a large heatproof bowl, cover the bulgur with the boiling water. Add a generous pinch of salt, cover with plastic wrap and let stand until the bulgur is tender and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Step 2
Hold the herb bunches together in one hand. Using scissors, snip the herbs over the bulgur until you reach the thick stems (you should have about 1 1/2 cups each of parsley and cilantro and 3/4 cup each of chives and dill); discard the stems. Add the sunflower seeds, lemon juice and olive oil to the bulgur and toss very well. Season with salt and pepper and toss again. Serve the salad at room temperature.
Make Ahead
Notes
Zero-mess move: Working over a bowl, snip away at a bunch of herbs with a pair of scissors or kitchen shears, avoiding the thick stems.
