Mediterranean Bulgur Salad with Grilled Zucchini and Roasted Peppers

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 zucchini

• 2 roasted bell peppers

• 2 tomatoes

• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

• 1 packet bulgur wheat

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

• 1 tablespoon oregano

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Roast the tomatoes in the oven. Once cooked, cut them into large chunks.

2. Slice the roasted peppers into strips about ½ cm (¼ inch) wide.

3. Cut the zucchini into strips about ½ cm (¼ inch) thick. Lightly oil a grill pan and grill the zucchini strips until tender and lightly charred.

4. In a large bowl, combine the roasted peppers, tomatoes, herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the zucchini while still warm and mix well.

5. Place the bulgur in a saucepan and add enough water to cover it. Bring to a boil, then immediately turn off the heat and drain the water.

6. Add the bulgur to the vegetable mixture and stir well to combine.

7. Let the salad rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
