Instructions
- 1
Boil the green lentils for 15 minutes so they stay firm, then drain.
15 min15:00 - 2
Soak the fine bulgur in a wide bowl with 1 cup of hot water for 8 minutes.
8 min08:00 - 3
Work the tomato paste, red pepper paste, salt, red pepper flakes, and basil into the bulgur.
- 4
Add the lentils, coarsely crushed walnuts, spring onions, and parsley.
- 5
Stir in the lemon juice and cold water gradually, until it has the texture of a juicy salad.
- 6
Let the salad rest for 10 minutes.
10 min10:00 - 7
Serve cold with vine leaves.
💡 Tip: Do not add the water all at once; the salad should be juicy enough to scoop with a spoon, but still grainy enough that the bulgur does not disappear.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the salad on a summer table with vine leaves, pickles, and cold basil sherbet.
