With the fall season peeking around the corner, I find myself still enjoying the abundance of summer’s bounty while beginning to feel ready to settle into the comfort foods of autumn. This lentil bulgar salad is perfect to help ease the transition from late summer to early fall. There are cool crisp cucumbers with fresh parsley and scallions, balanced with some hearty bulgar wheat and earthy french green lentils. Bulgar wheat is my secret weapon grain for a bulking up a last minute salad since it requires little to no cooking, and I always make sure to have a bag stocked in my pantry. Walnuts add a bit of crunch and some chopped olives and crumbled feta add a salty flair. It makes a great packable lunch and keeps well in the refrigerator for several days. It’s difficult to make brown food look appealing, but I hope you’ll trust me on this one- it’s truly a delicious salad. xo
