Ingredients

1. 3/4 cup water
2. 1/2 cup bulgur wheat
3. Salt
4. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5. 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6. 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
7. 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
8. 2 tablespoons chopped mint, plus 2 mint sprigs (optional)
9. 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
10. 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
11. Freshly ground pepper
12. 1 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
13. 1/2 small European cucumber—peeled, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
14. 1/2 small red onion, sliced paper thin
15. 1 small garlic clove, minced
16. 24 Isis candy or other cherry tomatoes, halved
17. 12 mini pitas, top third cut off
18. 4 ounces mixed baby greens

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the bulgur and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and return to a boil. Cover, remove from the heat and let stand until the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Drain the bulgur in a fine sieve, pressing to remove any excess liquid. Spread the bulgur on a plate and let cool.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Stir in the cilantro, olives, chopped mint, paprika and cumin. Add the bulgur and toss well. Season the salad with salt and pepper.
3. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with the cucumber, onion, garlic and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. In a another medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Spoon the bulgur salad into the pitas then tuck in the baby greens and tomatoes. Top with the yogurt, garnish with the mint sprigs and serve.

Make Ahead
