Keywords: Fresh herbs are crucial for authentic flavor; opt for parsley and mint rather than dried versions. Allow the salad to rest for at least 30 minutes after mixing to let flavors meld beautifully. For added protein, consider tossing in chickpeas or using quinoa instead of bulgur for a gluten-free variation.
