Instructions

  • Prepare half a cup of bulgur according to the package directions.
  • Proceed to wash and cut the cherry tomatoes, add them to a bowl and season them with 2 tsp salt. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
  • When your bulgur is nice and fluffy turn off the stovetop and let it cool down.
  • Chop the parsley and mint and cut half of the cucumber in little pieces
  • Drain the tomatoes.
  • Add everything to a bowl, including a few tablespoons of the cooled bulgur, and give it a mix.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice, 2 tbsp of black olive halves, and plant-based feta cheese cubes.

Notes

If you don’t have bulgur on hand you can replace it with quinoa or couscous.
And as tomatoes can get pretty watery, I salt them first to draw out the moisture.
