Combine bulgur and 2 cups boiling water in a medium bowl. Set aside for 30 minutes to an hour, or until water has been absorbed and bulgur is tender (OR cook quinoa according to package instructions).
Make dressing by whisking dressing ingredients in a bowl.
Once bulgur or quinoa has cooled, pour dressing on top and stir to combine.
