Instructions
Cool cucumber, earthy garbanzos, sweet cranberries and whole grain bulgur wheat are joined with other ingredients in this tabbouleh to tantalize the taste buds.
Toast the bulgur wheat lightly in a nonstick skillet over medium heat (stirring constantly until golden brown). Pour bulgur wheat into hot chicken broth (very slowly), stir only once, cover and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and let liquid absorb until the bulgur wheat is a dente. Remove cover and let cool before combining all the above ingredients in a large bowl.
Whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
Pour over vegetables; toss until well coated then add toasted pine nuts; cover and chill.
Let the flavors marry! Make 6 hours before or 1 day ahead and refrigerate.
