Made this for my husband and my mother tonight. It was a great hit. If you are watching your calories this a great filling salad with lots of fiber. I hope you enjoy it.
Bulgur Wheat Salad
This delicious fresh low calorie salad is a nice alternative to the usual rice or potato side dish and a great way to use up leftover broccoli.
½ cup uncooked bulgur
1 cup salted boiling water
1 cup cooked broccoli, chopped
¼ cup chopped chives
1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
1 T chopped fresh mint
Dressing
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp olive oil
1 T lime juice
¼ tsp ground cumin
1 clove crushed garlic
Pour bulgur into salted water. Bring to boil stir grain. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and cooling to room temperature. Fluff and put in a medium mixing bowl. Add chopped veggies and herbs. Toss well. Mix up dressing and pour over bulgur mix and toss well until the ingredients are evenly covered with dressing. The salad will be dry.
Serve cold or room temperature.
