Preparation steps

Boil vegetable broth in a pot, add the bulgur, cover and let simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let the bulgur swell for another 5-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut bell pepper into quarters, remove seeds, rinse and cut into strips.

Trim scallions, rinse and cut into thin rings.

Rinse mint, shake dry, pluck off the leaves and cut into strips. Cut lemon in half and squeeze out the juice.

Cut avocado in half and remove the pit. Peel avocado and dice the flesh.

Place avocado flesh in a salad bowl and immediately mix with 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent browning. Add bulgur, bell pepper, mint and scallions.

Whisk remaining lemon juice, olive oil, honey, cumin and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Pour over the prepared ingredients and mix. Season with salt and pepper.

Distribute salad between 2 plates. Crumble feta cheese with a fork and sprinkle over the salads before serving.
