High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Classic Bulgur Salad

This bright, herb-packed grain salad is the kind of dish that earns a permanent spot in your weeknight rotation. Juicy Roma tomatoes, crisp English cucumber, and a generous handful of both flat-leaf parsley and fresh mint come together with lemon juice and olive oil for a dressing that's clean, zippy, and completely from scratch. That matters more than it might seem — store-bought dressings and packaged grain salads are notorious for sneaking in sweeteners you never asked for, but every single ingredient here is exactly what it looks like. The bulgur itself is wonderfully satisfying: it soaks up the lemon and olive oil while it's still warm, so by the time you fold in the vegetables, the flavors have already started to meld beautifully. A pinch of allspice is optional but quietly transforms the whole bowl, adding a subtle warmth that makes this feel a little more special than your average chopped salad. It works as a light lunch on its own, a side alongside grilled proteins, or something to pull from the fridge throughout the week — it holds up well and actually gets better as it sits.
