Soak the bulgur: Place the bulgur in a bowl and add boiling water to cover by 2 inches. Soak for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the grind of the grain. Taste for tenderness, but be sure it's not mushy. Drain well, squeezing out as much extra moisture as possible by wrapping the grain in a clean towel and wringing it out. If time allows, spread out the bulgur on a fresh towel to help it dry a bit. Transfer the bulgur to a large bowl. 2. Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, cinnamon, pomegranate molasses, water, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well. Add the oil in a slow stream while whisking until emulsified. 3. Make the salad: Toss into the bulgur the endive, fennel, parsley, mint, scallions, and pistachios. Gently fold in the pomegranate seeds and the dressing. Taste for seasoning and add up to another ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with the fennel fronds, and serve.
