Begin by preparing the bulgur pilaf: In a medium saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil and add fine bulgur. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool. Next, prepare the vegetable medley by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced red onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper, sautéing for 5 7 minutes or until tender. Stir in chopped tomatoes, Kalamata olives, sun dried tomatoes, and half of the fresh herbs. Cook for an additional 3 minutes and set aside. Arrange the cooled bulgur pilaf on a large serving platter, followed by the vegetable medley. Sprinkle with crumbled vegan feta cheese, remaining fresh herbs, thinly sliced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes. Serve with toasted whole wheat sourdough bread on the side.
