I am probably preaching to the choir here but I would go lighter on the 
dressing when just starting to feed this to children, who do not 
customarily like sharp things.  Lemon is probably easier on a young 
palate than vinegar, certainly. 

Bulgar can also be served as breakfast grains and leftovers snuck into 
meatloaf/meatballs.  But I like that kind of thing.
