About Bulghur salad

Bulghur salad is a wholesome dish rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Lebanon and Turkey. This vibrant salad typically features bulghur wheat—cracked whole-grain wheat that’s rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates—mixed with fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and parsley. Olive oil, lemon juice, and spices like mint or cumin add flavor and additional health benefits, including healthy fats and antioxidants. Often served as tabbouleh, this salad is naturally low in fat and offers essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, and iron. Its high fiber content supports digestion and helps maintain satiety. While bulghur salad is generally considered a healthy choice, portions should be moderated, as olive oil contributes calories. Perfect as a main dish or side, bulghur salad is a nutritious, delicious addition to any balanced diet.
