Cover the fine bulgur with hot water and let it swell for 10 minutes.
Dice the zucchini small and saute in olive oil for 6 minutes.
Fluff the bulgur with a fork and wait 5 minutes before adding the zucchini while warm, so it does not clump.
Mix the lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, dried mint and red pepper flakes.
Combine the bulgur, zucchini, scallions and dressing, then serve with lettuce.
Tear the mint by hand and add it last, so knife marks and hot bulgur do not darken its aroma.
💡 Tip: Keeping the zucchini in the pan only briefly prevents it from watering down the salad.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the minty bulgur and zucchini salad in a cold bowl, leaving the mint on the lemony surface.
