Bulgur, Garbanzo Bean, and Cucumber Salad

This vibrant bulgur wheat and chickpea salad is a wonderful celebration of fresh textures and bright flavours. Combining nutty whole grains with protein-rich chickpeas and crunchy hothouse cucumber, it offers a satisfying meal that feels both light and nourishing. The addition of roasted red peppers and juicy cherry tomatoes provides a lovely sweetness, while a generous handful of fresh dill brings an aromatic lift to every bite.

As a versatile vegan dish, this salad is an excellent choice for batch-cooking or as a healthy addition to a summer spread. The simple dressing, made with white balsamic vinegar and earthy ground cumin, ties the ingredients together beautifully without overpowering the delicate herbs. Serve it chilled as a standalone lunch or as a wholesome side dish alongside grilled vegetables.
