Make the crispy wontons next by adding avocado/sunflower oil to the bottom of a deep pot over high heat.
Cut the wonton wrappers into strips, add to the oil to fry, and rotate with tongs until they have become golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the crispy wontons to a plate with paper towel to drain excess oil.
Next, prep the veggies for each style of stack.
Dice the tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber, red onion, avocado, and mango into small/medium pieces.
Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to the tomatoes and mango prior to stacking.
To create the Mediterranean stack, lightly spray a 1-cup measuring cup with avocado or sunflower oil.
Layer in the following order- tomato, pepper, cucumber, red onion, egg salad, seasoned bulgar wheat.
Lightly press the stack down, and then place a plate on top and flip over.
To serve, sprinkle crumbled feta and capers on top.

Notes

Instead of egg salad, make a tofu scramble or use any protein you wish!

To make this gluten free, use quinoa, brown or sushi rice for these stacks. YUM!!

Spice up the egg salad by even adding lemon or lime juice, green onion, diced pickles, siracha sauce, etc.!!!

Add or remove any ingredients you wish! These stacks are inspiration for you- play with it and create new ones!

This salad is AWESOME dish for summer! Impress your friends with your cooking and plating skills!
