1. Put the bulgur wheat in a bowl with the cumin and just cover with boiling water. Set aside for 10 minutes to soften and absorb the liquid. Drain off any excess.
2. Meanwhile, crumble the feta into a bowl with the tomatoes and herbs. Add to the bulgur wheat and toss together. Divide between 2 plates and drizzle with a little oil and a squeeze of lime juice.

Recipe Extra

Substitute couscous for the bulgar wheat and try using mozzarella instead of feta.

  Nice for BBQs and a little different to the usual salads.

  I really fancy this recipe. Made it as a side dish to a garlicy, lemony roasted chicken and it was superb. Will make it again for a picnic I am planning next weekend and I sure it will be a hit
