Tomato and Onion Bulgur Salad
This Tomato and Onion Bulgur Salad recipe comes from my Armenian grandmother. It's simple, healthy and packed with flavor!
Ingredients
- 1 cup bulgur wheat (#1 fine)
- 1 16 oz. can whole or diced tomatoes
- 1 small yellow or white onion
- ½ head iceberg lettuce
- ¼ cup olive oil extra virgin
- ¼ cup lemon juice (juice from about 2 medium lemons)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Pour a cup of fine bulgur in a large bowl. Add the can of tomatoes with all the juices to the bulgur and stir. If using whole tomatoes, break up the tomatoes into small pieces by squeezing them gently with your hands or with the back of a wood spoon. Let the tomato juices soak into the bulgur while you prepare the rest of the salad.
- Peel and dice the onion. Wash and rinse the iceberg lettuce and then chop it up.
- Squeeze 1-2 fresh lemons to make a ¼ cup of juice. Combine this with ¼ cup of extra-virgin olive oil and ½-1 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the iceberg lettuce, onion and dressing to the bulgur tomato mixture and this toss until everything is combined. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Both ways are great!
