Cranberry-Bulgur Salad1 cup uncooked bulgur
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1 cup boiling water
3-4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
salt & pepper
Combine bulgur and cranberries in a large bowl. Pour boiling water over bulgur mixture. Cover the bowl with foil (or a lid of some sort). Let stand until all the water is absorbed and bulgur is tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic together in a small bowl.
Once bulgur is cooked add dressing, chickpeas, and parsley to the bowl and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Congratulations on your 50th post! The salad looks delicious.
Yum!! This looks incredible! I only recently discovered bulgur (even though I'd been eating Tabbouleh for years, it never occurred to me that bulgur could be used for other stuff :P).
Hourrah for your 50th post!!! I love bulghur - I love that it's getting warmer, because I love making bulghur salads and eating them cold...yummy!
Mmmm...I love the idea of adding cranberries to a tabboleh-like dish. And happy 50th post!

I have never cooked with bulgur and now I want to try.
I think I might need to make this for work-week lunches! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
I made this for my dinner tonight because it's just too darn hot outside to use the stove. It's amazing!!!!!! I subbed spinach for the parsley and sprinkled a few raw sunflower seeds on top. Thanks so much for this recipe, it really is delicious! You can see a photo here:
