Lemon, Chickpea & Bourghal Salad

March 27, 2012 by Alex McLeavy

Vegan

No cooking required!

 

organic chickpea salad

 

Bourghal, or bulgur, is a cereal made from whole wheat grain with a nutty flavour and pleasantly chewy texture. Most commonly eaten in tabbouleh it makes a great base for salads, pilafs and soups- especially Middle eastern style- and can be used as a substitute for rice and cous-cous.

 

Bourghal only requires a good soak- no cooking- so this salad comes together with very little mess. For an easy dinner you might like to serve grilled lamb cutlets or mushrooms on top.
