Parsley Cucumber Mint Bulgur Salad

July 29, 2012 By Jittery Cook 3 Comments

Potluck entertaining is the best. Bring along this Bulgur Salad from Cooking with Love, sit back and wait for the accolades. This recipe should be made 1 to 2 days in advance so that the bulgur can absorb the dressing.

    I like the ratio of herb to grain in this recipe. It looks terrific.
