Bulgur salad is a nutritious, hearty dish originating from Middle Eastern cuisine, often featured in Mediterranean diets. Its base is bulgur, a whole grain made from cracked wheat, which is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Traditional bulgur salad, such as tabbouleh, incorporates fresh herbs like parsley and mint, along with diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Lemon juice and olive oil provide light, tangy dressing while adding healthy fats and antioxidants. Bulgur is a complex carbohydrate, promoting sustained energy and digestive health, and the salad is naturally low in saturated fat. It can be enriched with additional ingredients like chickpeas for protein or avocado for extra nutrients. With minimal processed ingredients, bulgur salad is a vibrant, heart-healthy option, though portion control is key for those monitoring calorie intake due to the olive oil and grain content. Ideal as a side dish or light main course, it embodies balanced nutrition and rich flavors.
