Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup quinoa
4 cups water
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup medium bulgur
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3/4 tsp dried mint, crumbled
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 brine-cured black olives , such as kalamata, pitted and cut into slivers
2 radishes, quartered and thinly sliced
2 oz feta, coarsely crumbled (1/2 cup)
1 head bibb lettuce , cut into 1/4-inch strips (4 cups)

Directions:

Wash quinoa in 3 changes of cold water in a bowl, draining in a sieve between changes of water.
Stir together quinoa, 4 cups water, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan, and simmer, uncovered, until quinoa is just tender and germ starts to separate from grain, about 20 minutes. Drain well in sieve, then transfer to a medium bowl.
While quinoa is simmering, cover bulgur with warm water by 2 inches and soak until tender and chewy, about 10 minutes. Drain well in a sieve, then stir into drained quinoa. Cool grains completely, about 20 minutes.
While grains cool, stir together oil, lemon juice, mint, pepper, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and let stand 15 minutes, then stir into grains along with olives, radishes, feta, and lettuce. Serve immediately.
Cooks' note: Grains can be made ahead and kept, chilled and covered, 1 day. Bring to room temperature while dressing stands.
