1

12 min
12:00
2
Separate the bulgur with a fork; if lumps remain, the lemony sauce will not spread evenly.
3
Work the lemon juice, olive oil, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes into the bulgur.
4
Slice the green olives into rings and finely chop the spring onions and parsley.
5
Add the olives and greens last, adjust the salt according to the olives, and serve.
6
Add the olives after the bulgur; if their salt releases early, the sour balance will shift.
7
Keep the bulgur salad covered for 5 minutes so the lemon and olive aroma passes into the bulgur.

💡 Tip: Letting the bulgur fully swell preserves its separate grain texture.

🍽️ Serving suggestion: Create a varied presentation with crisp bread, sliced lemon, and a bowl of olives on the side.
