For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the bell peppers before chopping them. If you don't have pomegranate molasses, you can substitute with a mixture of balsamic vinegar and a touch of honey or maple syrup. Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness. This salad is also delicious with the addition of crumbled feta cheese or toasted walnuts.

01 Step

02 Step
Recipe View While the bulgur is soaking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
03 Step
Recipe View Once the bulgur has absorbed the water, fluff it with a fork. Add the cooked onion, chopped tomatoes, diced cucumber, green and red bell peppers, green onions, minced parsley, and minced mint to the bowl with the bulgur. Season with red pepper flakes to your liking.
04 Step
Recipe View Drizzle the salad with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and pomegranate molasses. Gently toss all the ingredients together until the salad is thoroughly combined and the bulgur and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
05 Step
Recipe View Serve the Veggie Bulgur Salad immediately for the freshest flavors, or cover and refrigerate for later. The flavors meld together even more as it sits, making it a great dish to prepare ahead of time. Enjoy!
