Quinoa is gluten-free and more nutritious, while couscous is often less expensive.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is rich in healthy fats, while canola oil is budget-friendly.

Add 1/4 cup fine bulgur to a bowl.

Pour in 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil into the bowl with bulgur.

Mix these ingredients together and let them soak for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the bulgur to swell.

After about 10 minutes, check the bulgur; it should have expanded and softened.

Take a large bunch of parsley, chop it finely using a knife (do not use a food processor).

Add the finely chopped parsley to the bulgur mixture.

Chop 4 to 6 mint leaves finely and add them to the bowl.

Chop 1 medium tomato, removing the seeds, and add it to the mixture.

Chop the green part of a green onion finely (about 1 tablespoon) and mix it in.

Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, then mix everything well.
