This Kale and Pomegranate Salad Recipe uses bulgur wheat as the base for this Middle Eastern salad of super healthy greens and feta cheese.
A modern twist on the traditional Middle Eastern recipe, this Kale and Pomegranate Salad uses bulgur wheat as the base for a salad of super healthy greens and feta cheese.
It is simple and flavorful with the addition of spring onions, tomatoes, mint and lemon. Serve alongside your Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday meals.
Bulgur wheat – Use fine bulgur, the smallest you can find. Plus, this recipe comes together quickest if you get the bulgur cooked and cooling before you begin any other prep work.
Kale – While any type will work for the recipe, curly green kale works best as it most resembles curly parsley, traditionally used in the recipe.
Spring onions – Use the entire spring onion, both the green and white parts.
Tomatoes – If possible, use Roma tomatoes (also known as plum tomatoes) or vine-ripe tomatoes and avoid the smaller ones like cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes.
Olive oil – A high-quality extra virgin olive oil will make a world of difference to the taste.
Lemon juice – Always go for fresh lemons, and roll them out before juicing them to release the maximum juice.
