Mixed tomato and bulgur salad with crispy celery leaves
Mediterranean 15 Mins Prep · 10 Mins Cook
- To cook the bulgur wheat, place it in a medium-sized pot with two cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, then cook for about 10 minutes or until tender. Drain off any excess liquid and fluff the bulgur with a fork. Allow to stand and then refrigerate until completely cool.
- Drizzle the wedged plum tomatoes and vine tomatoes with olive oil and seasoning and grill over medium coals until charred.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the bulgur, plum tomatoes, thinly sliced medium onion, 2 grated garlic and chopped herbs.
- In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, vinegar, oil, honey and sumac, then season well with salt and pepper.
- To make the crispy celery, heat a small pot of frying oil to 160°C and drop in a handful of celery leaves. Fry until the leaves are crispy, then drain on paper towels.
- When ready to serve, dress the salad and season further if needed. Top the salad with the crispy celery and torn bocconcini. Place the grilled vine tomatoes on top.
