Bulgur wheat salad, often associated with Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, is a flavorful and nutrient-packed dish. Made from cracked whole-grain wheat, bulgur serves as the base ingredient, providing a hearty texture and a rich source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Common add-ins include fresh parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions, often tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, and a touch of salt for a bright, zesty flavor. Variations may include chickpeas, pomegranate seeds, or feta cheese for added nutrients or protein. Known for its low-fat content and complex carbohydrates, bulgur wheat salad supports digestion, heart health, and sustained energy. However, calorie-conscious individuals should monitor additional toppings like feta or extra oil. This versatile dish can be enjoyed as a side or a light main meal, offering a delightful mix of wholesome ingredients and vibrant flavors.
