Yum!
I made this last night and brought it to work without ever trying it before and it was great! I did the recipe just as told but forgot the cucumber and it didn’t affect the taste at all. I really like the bulgur which I have never had before. All the flavors melded so well with each other. I highly recommend trying this recipe out.

Perfect!
I made this tonight and it was fabulous! Instead of 1 oz of regular feta, I opted for 3oz of reduced fat feta and cous cous instead of bulgar, which was just perfect! I picked up a box of dry falafel mix and baked it using olive oil cooking spray instead of frying it (fantastic) and served with lowfat roasted garlic hummus. What a delightful nutritious and satisfying middle-eastern meal!!
