2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the dressing ingredients and whisk until smooth and creamy. 
3. Transfer the cooled bulgur to a salad bowl and add the remaining salad ingredients. Drizzle with the dressing and toss lightly. 
4. Scatter the pomegranate seeds and nuts, if using, over the salad and serve. Enjoy!
