Ingredients

  • 1 cup bulgur dry
  • 2 cup water
  • 3 green olives chopped
  • 3 kalamata olives chopped
  • 1/3 cup pitted medjool dates chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsalted shelled pistachios
  • 1/2 small red onion diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a pot, combine the bulgur and water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
  2. Once the bulgur is cooked, place it in a large bowl with the two types of olives, dates, parsley, pistachios, red onion and salt. Mix well.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice. If you're eating the salad right away, pour the dressing on top. If not, put the dressing in a small tupperware and dress when you're ready to eat.
