Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and turmeric to a boil over high heat. Stir in the bulgur. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 8 minutes, or until the bulgur is slightly firm and the water is almost evaporated. Pour into a fine-mesh strainer and run under cold water to cool completely. Shake off any excess liquid.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, gently toss together the remaining ingredients except the lemon wedges. Add the bulgur, tossing gently to combine. Serve with the lemon wedges to squeeze over all.
