Preparation of Bulgur and Quinoa Salad with Salmon
Prepare the Bulgur and quinoa with salmon by first rinsing the bulgur and quinoa well. As I mentioned in the introduction, you can buy the pre-made mix available on the market.
Next, place a pot with enough cold water on the stove to cook everything, add a little salt, and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add the bulgur and quinoa together and cook for the time indicated on the package (usually 10 minutes) over low heat.
Meanwhile, shred the smoked salmon and cut the tomato into small pieces.
Once the Bulgur and quinoa are ready, drain them and cool under cold water.
Now place them in a large salad bowl, add the previously shredded salmon and then the chopped tomato.
Add salt, pepper, and extra virgin olive oil, also adding the sesame seeds, and mix the Bulgur and quinoa salad with salmon.
Sprinkle with some fresh chopped parsley and serve.
