1. Soak Bulgur
Combine the rinsed bulgur with ¾ cup of water, ¼ cup of lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a large bowl. Let it sit for about an hour.
2. Prepare Dressing
In another large bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice, ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
3. Combine Ingredients
Once the bulgur is ready, add it to the bowl with the dressing. Toss in the quartered red grapes, ⅓ cup of the toasted slivered almonds, ⅓ cup of crumbled feta cheese, the sliced scallions, and the chopped fresh mint. Mix thoroughly.
4. Serve
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the remaining almonds and feta cheese on top. Serve immediately.
The sweetness of the grapes contrasts with the salty feta and the bright acidity of the lemon juice. Taste as you go and look for a harmony between sweet, salty, sour, and herbal notes.
