Nutritional values

Bulgur is an excellent source of fiber which is good for digestion. Additionally, the carotenoids in the tomato juice and carrots help the body's cells fight free radicals.

If you want to add an extra portion of protein, add green peas to the salad. This provides additional vegetable proteins that the body can utilize particularly well.
