How to use this list
Start by gathering all ingredients before you prep. Use fine bulgur wheat—coarser types won’t soften properly in the tomato mixture. Measure out 2 cups of bulgur and cover it with 2 cups of boiling water in a large bowl. While the bulgur softens, chop the red and green bell peppers, Roma tomatoes, scallions, fresh parsley, and fresh mint. Mix tomato paste, lemon juice, and extra-virgin olive oil in a separate bowl. Combine everything, add Aleppo pepper, and toss well. Chill before serving.
Common mistakes
Don’t use coarse bulgur; it won’t hydrate correctly in this recipe. Avoid skipping the chilling step—serving the salad warm changes the texture and flavor. Some people use too much water, which makes the salad mushy. Stick to the listed amounts. Also, don’t forget to season with Aleppo pepper for the right flavor profile.

Before you go
