Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups fine-grain bulgur
3 cups boiling water
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp honey
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
6 oz drained jarred roasted red peppers, diced (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1 medium head bibb lettuce, leaves separated
4 pita breads, warmed and cut into wedges

Directions:

1. Place the bulgur in a large bowl. Add the boiling water and set aside, stirring occasionally, until the bulgur has softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the bulgur, shaking the strainer and gently pressing out excess moisture. Return the bulgur to the bowl.
2. Meanwhile, whisk the lemon juice, honey, cumin, cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil until the dressing is smooth.
3. Add the chickpeas, roasted peppers, and parsley to the bowl with the drained bulgur and stir to combine. Drizzle the dressing over the bulgur mixture and toss to combine.
4. Line each individual plate with several lettuce leaves. Mound some bulgur salad over the lettuce and tuck some pita wedges into the salad at several places around the plate. Serve.
