Cook's Notes

Bulgur, an excellent source of fiber that is high in protein and iron, is precooked wheat that's been dried and cracked. It has a nutty taste and is sold alongside rice in many supermarkets.

For the Mediterranean Grain Salad, if you include chopped mint it will be delicious.

Entranced by the glorious colors of this salad in the pages of the Light&Healthy cookbook, I had to try it out. I follow a strict gluten-free diet and switched out the bulgar for quinoa cooked in vegetable broth. Also threw in some fresh spinach at the end for some extra green. Absolutely perfect.

I love this salad! I make it for lunch often. I have doubled it and enjoyed it for a couple days, so I would say it keeps fine. But if you're planning to serve it to guests, it might be best to prepare it the same day--it is quick and easy.

Can you make this a day ahead and let it sit in the fridge? Will it last?
