Method
step 1
Put the bulgur and cranberries in a heatproof bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover by about 2cm. Cover the bowl and soak for 15 mins. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl. Add the lemon zest, shallots and cabbage. Toss well.
step 2
Pour the lemon juice into a small bowl with the dressing ingredients, except the oil. Stir well, then pour in the oil slowly, whisking continuously until combined. Season to taste.
step 3
Add the parsley, mint and blood oranges to the bulgur mixture with most of the pomegranate seeds and walnuts. Toss everything together with the dressing and season to taste again. Serve in a big bowl with the remaining pomegranate seeds and walnuts scattered over the top.
