Bulgur Salad with Pomegranate Extract

A taste that I just can’t have enough of it.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fine bulgur
• 2 cups hot water
• 1 onion
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• pinch of salt
• 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon sour pomegranate extract
• 7-8 green onions
• 3 tomatoes
• 2 cucumbers (or pickled cucumbers)
• 1 bunch dill
• lettuce

Instructions:

1. Combine the bulgur and hot water in a bowl, cover it, and let it soak for about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, fine chopped the onion and sautee with olive oil. Add the tomato paste and stir couple times to get all mixed.
3. When the bulgurs are softened and fluffed up, add salt and paprika. Then add the onion sauce, lemon juice, and pomegranate extract and mix them to combine.
4. Dice the tomatoes and cucumbers. Finely chop the dill and green onions. Mix the vegetables into the salad and serve over lettuce leaves.
