This is my go to 'Lunch Salad'. It's quick and easy to make and full of flavour. This is a very versatile salad and I usually use what I can find in my fridge and pantry. Here I used Bulgur Wheat but any other type of grain works! I've used rice, quinoa and pearl barley in the past and they were all delicious.
Bulgur Wheat has a mild flavour (similar to rice) and as well as being high in protein and fiber it also has a low calorie count. Having already been precooked before you buy it, it doesn't take long to cook at home.To accompany the Bulgur Wheat I added a grated carrot, finely sliced celery, cucumber and a spring onion. To add a little more flavour I added a few chopped capers and a teaspoon of homemade Tapenade. To finish the salad I squeezed a little lemon juice and a drizzle of Rapeseed oil.
I also added a few chunks of beetroot and a crumble of Stilton!
