This Warm Chickpea and Bulgur Salad is a staple at my house. It is a quick and easy meal that stores well for leftovers. It is also very versatile. Substitute the almonds for your favorite nut (walnuts, pistachios, cashews) and the raisins for any dried fruit in your pantry (dried apricots or cranberries). Don't have radicchio? You can use spinach, lettuce, or Spring Mix in it's place.
This is a healthy plant based salad that gives a whopping 16 grams of fiber per serving. Bon Appetit!
