Light, herby, and vibrantly flavored, this salad makes a fine addition to a meze spread. Make up to two hours ahead so tastes can meld. Made with bulgur, fresh herbs, chopped vegetables and buttery chickpeas, this Middle Eastern-style salad is like a bulked-up tabbouleh. I like to make it over the weekend and keep it in the fridge all week long for healthy lunches.

1 cup uncooked bulgur
1 cup boiling water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
3/4 teaspoon salt
