Why This Recipe Works
For this quick, light side dish, we first soften the bulgur in a mixture of water, lemon juice and salt for an hour. Fresh mint, scallions, and spices add depth of flavor, while creamy, salty feta and sweet grapes accent the rich, nutty taste of the bulgur. Finally, for textural contrast, we add crunchy toasted slivered almonds.
