A couple things some might not be aware - Bulgar comes in various sizes, like cornmeal - fine or medium or larger, etc. And "Dal" is a word in India (Hindu language?) that means "round", so you will also see it in reference to split peas - same shape but split peas are not lentils. - 9/15/19
Oh nice! :) - 5/2/18
I've bought the bulgur wheat, and am ready to give this a try! - 2/19/18
We liked this better hot first, then used the leftovers cold another time. - 11/13/17
This really sounds good. I will be making it very soon. - 7/16/17
For it was not into my ear you whispered,
but into my heart.
It was not my lips you kissed,
but my soul.

I made this recipe but I might not have made it right. I'm going to work with this recipe to perfect it to my liking. - 4/22/16
If you don't want the gluten in bulghar wheat, you could use sorghum instead. I make this substitution all the time...works pretty much the same. - 7/27/15
This is one of my fave spark recipes. Could eat it every week & it's easy to dress up with feta, olives, etc. Tastes even better the next day after flavours have a chance to meld. Quarter cup of oil doesn't seem like much considering how many other ingredients are in salad. - 1/31/15
Why in the world would you need to add a quarter cup of oil to this recipe? - 1/20/15
This sounds really good - 1/6/15
Where does one get Bulgur? I have never heard of it until now. - 7/30/14
Yum yum maybe use Stevia instead of sugar. - 4/12/14
Honest to God, I don't recall having ever made/eaten bulgur. I'm going to do this. - 3/27/14
1) As a deaf person, I need the open captions (or closed cc) otherwise
2) All you people who couldn't find the recipe; look directly underneath the video and find the place to get your Spark points. Just above that spot, press the button to see recipe. - 10/19/13
Supper, all the things I love! - 8/28/13
I made half with bulgar and the other half with quinoa because I took it to a UU end-of-year barbeque. People loved it both ways! - 7/8/13

This is going to sound like a commercial, but for an easy way to do all the chopping, I bought a Vidalia Chopper -- it's got a grate that you press down on and it chops or dices veggies in seconds! I love mine, and use it for chopping just about everything. $19 at Bed Bath and Beyond. - 6/18/13
Look like I will be making this. I love salad but I have to be careful because of my stomach. - 5/12/13
This seems like a great salad, refreshing for the summertime or anytime. I can't wait to try :) - 5/11/13
Please CC closed captions for videos--I need those due to my hearing problem. Chris - 2/13/13

Thank you chef Meg, I love lentil soup; but now I could eat them in a salad. I can't wait to taste it. - 7/12/12
I love that you teach us about the cutting and herbs in this dish! I can't wait to try this and add my twist! Thank you for all the wonderful additions suggestions! I love capers and can't wait to add them to this dish!
- 5/8/12
I do love this salad :) I love cucumber, klamata olives, cherry tomato's halved, feta, basil, Myers lemon juice and zest (no sugar), parsley, garlic :) Quinoa is a great substitution for wheat free-ers in this dish - 4/12/12
GREAT video! I learned so much. (Who knew salting while cooking instead of afterward toughened lentils?) Thanks for all the tips and demonstrations (like chopping the herbs and choosing which parsley to use for cooking vs garnish). Looking forward to trying this recipe. - 4/5/12
Chef Meg! You are the BEST! Love your cooking style. - 4/5/12
Very tasty. Not sure why it needs the extra protien of the chicken. It's good the video told how large the serving is as the recipe does not. Mine made more than 8 servings. Maybe used a different yellow dal; it took a good half hour to cook. Also found it too oily & doubled the lemon juice. - 2/26/12
I make a very similar salad with Quinoa or Brown rice and with out the lentils. I want to try this version. I add shelled, steamed edemame for added crunch and protein. Another thing we love with this is adding a little sweet like diced dried cherries, raisins or craisins. - 2/25/12
Definitely making this! My vegetarian daughter will LOVE it! - 2/25/12
This was such a fun video to watch and I just ate my first recipe of it....it is sooo....yummy! I'm serving it with the roasted chicken recipe tomorrow for a tailgate party. I use roasted pine nuts instead of the walnuts, wonderful flavors and will be even better tomorrow! - 10/14/11
very good, I added to the leftovers a can of chicken, black olives, tomato and fat free feta cheese and that was our meal. We loved it. - 8/19/11

There are more than one yellow lentil. Are we using the moong, the Toor or the yellow split pea kind? BTW all lentils, yellow, pink or red, green, black are known as "Dal" in different parts of India. This is different from the way we eat it, so shall try it. - 8/3/11

I love bulgur wheat. And lentils. I think I will try this with some brown lentils. Also I love to eat curly parsley instead of flat, so that will go in. The video was a great inspiration, thanks. - 8/7/10
I'll have to try it - 8/7/10
I made this for our family reunion. A double batch with an extra cup of bulgar wheat and substituted celantro for the parsley. Everyone loved it! I will make this again and again! I did use 7 ozs. crumbled feta cheese in the double batch. - 8/5/10
