Cook the bulgur wheat – instructions above.
Heat the oven to 425F
Place the prepared sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet lined with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Brush lightly with the vegetables stock, sprinkle over freshly ground black pepper and ground cumin.
Put the sweet potatoes in the oven and roast for approximately 25 minutes or until tender and slightly charred. Remove from the oven.
Place the prepared arugula, parsley, mint, fennel, scallions and dried cherries in a large salad bowl. Add the cooked bulgur wheat and combine well.
To make the vinaigrette combine all the ingredients except the filtered water, whisk well together then whisk in the filtered water one tablespoon at a time. Taste, taste, taste!!! and add more pepper, ACV or maple syrup to your liking.
Add the vinaigrette to the salad a couple of tablespoons at a time (you may not need all of it) and toss to combine.
Then add the pomegranate seeds and a few more parsley and mint leaves to garnish.
