Chickpea Bulgur Salad
A Bulgur wheat salad is easy and pretty quick to make. I have suggested bulgur as a starch for new cooks to make as it is extremely forgiving, unlike some grains that over or under cook readily.
This meatless grain salad is ready in under 20 minutes and is perfect for a warm weather dinner or as a flavorful side dish.
