Palestinian Grape and Grapefruit Maftoul Salad came about because I wanted to create something unusual and exotic. As I clamoured around my pantry I discovered I had some Maftoul hidden away for a day when I was feeling adventurous. Maftoul is a traditional Palestinian product that is sun-dried and made from bulgur weeks. The grains are larger and rounder than couscous and are a substitute for couscous, rice and bulgur.
