Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

Cook the bulgur in broth according to the package instructions until soft (tastes better than using water). Finely chop the onion, bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, and spring onions and mix with the slightly cooled bulgur. For the dressing, zest and juice the lemon, then mix both with 50 ml vegetable broth, tomato paste, honey, sambal oelek, vinegar, and oil. Crush the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture, season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well. Wash and finely chop the parsley, then add it to the salad. It should sit for a good 30 minutes, then it’s ready. Tastes great, for example, on a barbecue, and is low in calories.
