Мethod of preparation

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the bulgur wheat, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool. 2. While the bulgur is cooling, prepare the vegetables. Dice the red and yellow bell peppers, cucumber, and finely chop the red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the fresh parsley and mint. 3. In a large salad bowl, combine the cooled bulgur wheat with the prepared vegetables: bell peppers, cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and mint. Gently toss to mix everything evenly. 4. To prepare the citrus vinaigrette, juice the orange and lemon into a small bowl. Add the olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined and emulsified. 5. Pour the citrus vinaigrette over the bulgur and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to ensure all the ingredients are well coated with the dressing. 6. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. 7. Allow the salad to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
