Recipe video above. Think Tabbouleh -- but with the bulgur switched for white beans to make a more substantial salad that's an excellent starch + veg side dish, or light meal for warm days! It's fresh, lemony, herby, totally delicious and good for you.To add protein, top with grilled chicken or fish, hot smoked trout or even a can of tuna / other fish.Serves 8 - 10 as a side, 4 - 5 as a meal. Keeps for 3 days.
