     1 c  Fine bulgur, available in

     3 tb Lemon juice


     3 tb Extra virgin olive oil

 simmer until the lentils are tender, but not falling apart, about 15 to 20

 In a small saucepan bring the water to a boil, stir in the bulgur and


 simmer, covered, until the water is absorbed, about 12 to 15 minutes.


 Transfer to a bowl, fluff with a fork and allow to cool, stirring


 occasionally.


 


 In a large bowl whisk together olive oil and lemon juice. Stir in garlic,


 scallions, roasted red pepper, olives, parsley, salt and pepper. Add bulgur


 and lentils and toss to combine. Transfer salad to a serving dish and


 garnish with crumbled Feta.
