I didn't have all the ingredients on hand and I am not really a big fan of onions so I substituted the bulgur for quinoa and the red onion for red cabbage. Also, I realized belatedly that I was all out of red pepper! So in went some grape tomatoes and voila! Really pretty and awesomely delicious!

I made this to try as I have a couple of pot lucks and picnics to attend and have to bring something. I made this up earlier in the day and although it was good I think it looses some of its flavor. Next time I think I would make it up ahead of time but just add dressing a short time before leaving. Other than that it was great.

Oh my gosh, so GOOD !! I used 3/4 cup of bulgur and 1 1/2 cups of water; salt-free canned chickpeas and red kidney beans; and left out the red pepper & parsley. Left everything else the same. Incredibly easy to prepare, and quick too (I didn't chill it after making it - we just ate it!) This one's definitely a keeper - a really yummy vegetarian main for meatless nights.
