1

Cook your bulgur by combining your bulgur with your chicken broth. If you would like, add a pinch of salt. Bring them to a boil. Once you have it boiling, cover with a lid and bring your heat down to low and allow it to simmer for 20 minutes, till there is no liquid left. Fluff it with a fork and allow it to completely cool.

2

Pack your herbs into your measuring cup as whole leaves. Once it is measured, then chop them finely.

3

Do the same with the pistachios. Fill ½ measuring cup and then pour it out and coarsely chop them.

4

In a large bowl combine the bulgur, chopped cucumber, chickpeas, red onion, parsley, mint, feta and pistachios.

5

Squeeze the juice from your lemons. It took me 2.5 lemons to make ½ cup of lemon juice.

6

Whisk together till all of the ingredients are combined.

7

Drizzle the desired amount over the entire salad or keep it and add 1-2 tablespoons at a time to your individual salad.
