Salad Notes

Some recipes say that this trend was created with cooked Bulgur wheat over quinoa – we have seen it both ways online, and certainly, when it’s a rumor, ingredients get lost in translation.

Overall the effect of the sizing between each ingredient is relatively similar. The difference lies in that bulgur wheat is precooked wheat, and quinoa is technically a seed.

Both items offer a great deal many nutritional benefits, but quinoa seems to be a bit healthier.

TikTok Salad Variations

Overall the depth of this viral salad could be better, and we recommend a few changes to spice it up.

Chicken – Add some Italian chicken cutlets or whip up the Juicy chicken 101 recipe to add to this salad and make it a meal. In a pinch, premade Rotisserie chicken can be shredded and added.

Switch up the pistachios for sunflower seeds.

Dont like feta cheese? Try adding tangy and creamy goat cheese.

Fresh corn kernels and rinsed black beans are a welcome addition for color and flavor.

The dressing is tangy but slightly bland, so we like to add a little Tzatziki sauce or sour cream on the side to mix in. This gives the salad bowl a little bit of creaminess.
