The toothsome texture and nutty flavour of bulgur make it a wonderful canvas for an array of ingredients. It can be treated as a grain side dish, cooked as a custard-like dessert similar to rice pudding, or tossed with a bright vinaigrette for a hearty salad like this one. Sweet cherries and salty feta balance beautifully in this easy summer side. No cherry pitter? Push a chopstick through the stem end of each fruit and the pit will pop out on the other side.
