1 cup water
1 cup Bulgur wheat
1/4 cup slivered almonds, coarsely chopped
1 cup red seedless grapes, cut into quarters

Place almonds in a small skillet and set over medium heat. Set a timer for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let nuts remain in the pan to finish toasting. Set aside.

Remove the salad from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Stir in the almonds before serving.
