Lots of Textures! Lot's of flavors the first night, with a subtle melding the second night. If you make the bulgar while eating breakfast, and use leftover chicken the salad comes together quickly when you get home from work. You can leave the grain on your counter all day in a covered bowl,and it's ready to go when you get home. This will become a permanent entry in my personal cookbook.
