The salad is made with cooked bulgur, chickpeas, fresh cucumber, red onion, feta and plenty of flat-leaf parsley, each adding its own flavour and texture.
Unsalted pistachios add a lovely crunch, while the lightly spiced vinaigrette with lemon, oil and cumin ties the dish together perfectly.
It is a salad that is both filling and full of flavour – and it keeps well in the fridge, so you can easily take it to work in a packed lunch.
Perfect as a satisfying main-course salad – or as a side for many of your favourite dishes.

- Put the bulgur, chickpeas, roasted aubergine, red onion, cucumber, parsley and pistachios in a large bowl. Crumble in the feta, pour over the vinaigrette and toss everything together well. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper – and a little more lemon juice if needed.

Kan man bruge andet end aubergine?
Hej Annette
Ja absolut, du kan egentlig erstatte med præcis det du foretrækker. F.eks. bagt græskar, stegt squash eller lignende vil være super lækker deri.
Warm wishes, Dianna
Fjerner du de hvide skaller fra kikærterne, hvis har du en nem måde
Hejsa
Jeg fjerne kun lige dem der sætter sig løse når jeg skyller dem, ellers ikke 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Er der et alternativ til kikærter ?
Hej Britta
Ja absolut da. Jeg bruger kikærter for ekstra protein – men du kan også bruge andre former for f.eks. bønner.
Noget helt andet kunne være tern af bagt græskar eller sød kartoffel – noget der giver fylde og mæthed 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Wow hvor smager den godt⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
