This grew on me! The dressing wasn't that exciting, but overall the flavors were good ESPECIALLY with the falafel added. The lettuce wasn't strong enough to hold everything together so it ended up being a salad.

Salad Ingredients: Little Gem lettuce or romaine, bulgur, walnuts, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, parsley, mint, pomegranate seeds, Kosher salt, black pepper

Dressing Ingredients: pomegranate molasses, double-concentrated tomato paste, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Aleppo-style pepper, biber salcasi (Turkish hot pepper paste) or more Aleppo, Kosher salt, black pepper

Tips/Notes:

• Served falafel with it
• Didn't have biber salcasi so used more Aleppo pepper
• Substituted date syrup for the pomegranate molasses
