Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use your prettiest ripe tomatoes for this salad. The tomatoes serve as an edible salad holder, and having them at peak ripeness makes them easy to eat with the salad.
  • tip 2
    This salad can be made ahead, even the day before if you like! The bulgur will continue to absorb the lemony dressing, so you may want to stir in a little olive oil to moisten it before serving.
  • tip 3
    Feta cheese is a salty Greek cheese that has a tangy flavor. Look for flavored feta cheeses as well.
