Bulgar and Chickpea Salad

I'm trying out different salad ideas that I can take for lunch and that will fill me up. This one has protein and fiber with the taste of a Greek salad. Delicious!


Serves 6-8(as a side dish)

1 cup bulgar wheat
2 cups water or veggie stock
salt
pepper
1/2 a seedless cucumber, diced
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 15 oz cans of garbanzo beans,drained and rinsed
juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tsp greek spice blend, mine had no added salt-McCormick brand
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Bring the bulgar, water or stock and 1/2 tsp of salt to a boil. Cover and turn off the heat. Let it sit for 20 minutes. Remove the lid, drain off any extra liquid and place in a large bowl. Add the garbanzos, onion, cucumber,greek seasoning, lemon juice, salt. pepper, feta and olive oil. Toss to combine and serve.
