Instant Pot Bulgur Salad

This instant pot bulgur is one of those dishes that can stand alone or be paired with a main ingredient, like grilled chicken. The hearty grains are full of flavor and will keep you pretty full for a while. One of those easy bulgur recipes that can be changed up to accompany any other ingredients. Think about it as being versatile like rice.  Just with more health benefits. 

What is Bulgur Wheat? 

Bulgur (known as both, though Bulgur seems to be the American version), is a whole wheat cereal grain similar to couscous. It’s a cracked grain that has been partially cooked, popular in Middle Eastern cooking and is commonly used to replace rice and other similar grains that have little to no health benefit. Instead, using bulgur provides high fiber and low fat properties. However, if you are eating a low carb or keto diet absolutely skip this grain, it is extremely high in carbs- though the good kind, still a no.
