Taste and adjust seasoning, lemon juice, or olive oil as needed.Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with extra feta.

Notes

Red bulgur adds a nutty texture and color, but regular bulgur or quinoa can be used as a substitute.
To make this vegan, simply omit the feta cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
This salad keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
Soaking the red onion mellows its flavor and helps balance the dish’s brightness.
