For the Mardin-style bulgur base, cover the fine bulgur with hot water and let it swell for 12 minutes.
Separate the swollen bulgur grains with a fork and work in the paste and olive oil until the color is even.
Add the pomegranate molasses, lemon, sumac, and red pepper flakes and mix.
Finely chop the parsley, spring onions, and mint, and separate the pomegranate seeds.
Add the greens and pomegranate to the bulgur and serve without crushing the pomegranate seeds.
Add the pomegranate seeds after the bulgur has cooled so the heat does not soften them.
💡 Tip: Adding the pomegranate last prevents the seeds from being crushed and releasing juice.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the bulgur salad cool with pomegranate seeds scattered on top and lettuce on the side.
