Happiness is a red bulgur salad 🥗 with all the fresh herbs 🌿 cucumbers 🥒 carrots 🥕 and crunchy toasted almonds. I'm sharing a recipe for one of my absolute all time favorite lunches. My salad dressing has Middle Eastern flavors with olive oil, lemon juice and fresh herbs coating the red bulgur-which is an heirloom grain that is a mainstay in Mediterranean cooking. I'm looking forward to creating more salads with this delicious whole grain of the Middle East, coming to a theatre near you.
