Preserved Lemon Bulgur Salad with an olive oil and mustard dressing Use vegan feta for a salty addition to the citrusy salad - Media Credit: Natlicious Food

This preserved lemon bulgur salad is a vegan lunch with cooked bulgur, plant-based feta, fresh coriander, and thin strips of preserved lemon peel. The bulgur gives the salad a soft, chewy base that makes it more filling than a leafy salad. Preserved lemon adds a sharp citrus flavor, while vegan feta brings a salty, creamy element.

This preserved lemon bulgur salad from Natlicious Food comes together with a blended dressing made from olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, English mustard, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. The dressing coats the grains well, so each bite has acidity, sweetness, and savory flavor.

This salad serves two and suits lunch because it has grain, fat, herbs, and plant-based cheese in one bowl. It does not need many steps, and it can be made once the bulgur has cooked and cooled. Eat it on its own for a quick midday meal, or pack it in a container for a cold lunch.
