A fresh orange does double duty in this colorful side dish: Grated zest gives a flavor boost to quick-pickled red onions, which provide a bright, tangy contrast to the nutty bulgur, while the chopped fruit adds sweetness and juiciness. We use red wine vinegar in the pickling liquid to tame the onion. Pistachios bring crunch and mint lends freshness. Feel free to swap in other nuts, such as pecans or almonds. We call for coarse bulgur rather than finely ground (the type used in tabbouleh) because the coarse variety holds up well when cooked. Serve alongside hearty braises and roasted meats.

Delicious!
I thought this recipe was wonderful. Easy to make, delicious, and leftovers hold up really well. I did add an extra orange the second time I made it, but one was also great. This recipe is on rotation in my kitchen.

Tasted weird and not enough dressing
Was so looking forward but was sadly disappointed. Think there needs to be more dressing and a stronger taste to it
