Cooking steps

-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim and grate half the cucumbers on the largest holes of a box grater over a small bowl. Trim and thinly slice remaining cucumber into rounds. Zest and quarter lemon. Pick and roughly chop fronds from dill. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot; place in a medium bowl and cover with cold water. Halve tomatoes. TIP: To maintain the life of your knives, hand-wash using lukewarm water, mild dish soap, and a nonabrasive sponge. Dry immediately to prevent spots.

-
In a small pot, combine bulgur, half the Turkish Spice Blend, 1 cup water, and ½ tsp salt (all the Turkish Spice Blend, 2 cups water, and 1 tsp salt for 4 servings). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until water has absorbed and bulgur is tender, 12-15 minutes.
-
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

-
While bulgur cooks, drain any excess liquid from grated cucumber.
-
To bowl with grated cucumber, add lemon zest, yogurt, garlic powder, half the dill, a drizzle of olive oil, juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
-
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

-
Drain shallot. Return to bowl.
-
Add sliced cucumber, tomatoes, sumac, remaining dill, a drizzle of olive oil, juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
-
Set aside until ready to serve.

-
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season with Shawarma Spice Blend, salt, and pepper.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly.
-
Transfer chicken to a cutting board; let rest 5 minutes.

-
Slice chicken crosswise.
-
Fluff bulgur with a fork; season with salt and pepper.
-
Divide bulgur between bowls. Top with chicken and salad in separate sections. Drizzle chicken with cucumber dill sauce and serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
