Notes
To cook coarse bulgur, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot. Stir in 1 cup dry coarse bulgur, cover, and remove from the heat. Let sit for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender. Drain any excess water, then fluff with a fork. Measure ⅔ cup cooked bulgur for the salad and save the rest for another use. Allow the bulgur to cool to room temperature before adding to the salad.
