This is a perfect summer day side dish. It’s fresh. It’s healthy. And it can be toted to a picnic worry free, since there’s no mayonnaise in the dressing.
The recipe is from the out-of-print Keepsake Quilting™ Cookbook published as a charitable fund-raiser in 2001.

What can you substitue for the Bulgur Wheat? I am allergic to wheat. It sounds so good.

Hi Joyce,
If you are able to eat other grains or rice, you could try substituting the same amount of another cooked grain. Since you are allergic to wheat, many of the grains listed here would work well: http://bit.ly/1fdJOA1
Or, you could try a grain-free version of tabbouleh and try substituting riced cauliflower as seen in these two recipes: http://bit.ly/18VhmkP or http://bit.ly/1dI5OoO
Hope this helps!
