Grain salads make a terrific lunch, summer or winter, and this one has infinite variations. The key is to use an extra coarse grind of bulgur, for its nutty flavor and chewy texture, and to toast the walnuts and pumpkin seeds. Bulgarian Feta is creamy and mild; feel free to experiment with other kinds. <br /> <br />Proportions here are for a cup of grain, but you can increase the amount if you wish. Just use equal parts grain and water. (Contrary to what your mother taught you, in this instance use the same measuring cup for both water and grain.) Add nuts, vegetables, seeds, cheese and herbs as suits your taste.
