Serves: 6 - 8 as a side dish

A colourful and seasonal salad that’s perfect for the autumn chagim but you use soft, dried figs when they are not in season. It’s a lovely side option for vegan and vegetarian guests. 


Method

● Put the bulgur wheat in a heatproof bowl and pour over the boiling water. Cover with a plate or cling film and leave to stand for 30 minutes.

● If the mixture is absorbing the water too quickly, add 1 tablespoon or more of water.

Ingredients

500g bulgur wheat

720ml boiling water

1 cup chopped parsley

30 red grapes cut into quarters

10 figs cut into quarters

1 pomegranate, seeds only

10 chopped pitted dates

60ml olive oil

3 lemons, juice only

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper
