Forget about the weather, here is a summery salad: take one cup of bulghur (little pellets made of wheat) and pour one cup of boiling water over them. Let it absorb the water, then use a fork to loosen up the bulghur. In the meanwhile, cut up some tasty tomatoes, cucumber, shred some lettuce, and add pine nuts, raisins, cut up dried dates and sun-dried tomatoes. Add mint, basil and feta cheese and drizzle with olive oil. Eat with nice crusty bread, or as a side dish with grilled meat.
