Bulgur Salad with Greens
Ingredients:
¾ cup bulgur (cracked wheat)
2 cups green peas (frozen or fresh)
½ cup chopped green onions
3 tbsp lemon juice
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions:
Bring some water to boiling point. Place the bulgur wheat in a large bowl and add the boiling water over it (according to packet instructions) – the water should cover the bulgur wheat by at least 1 inch. Let stand for about 20 to 30 minutes until tender. It should have doubled in volume.
Drain through fine-meshed sieve and get rid of excess water by pressing it out. In a small saucepan, boil the peas for about 1 minute only to keep them crunchy.
Use a salad bowl and combine all ingredients, including cooked bulgur and peas. Season with salt and pepper and toss with sesame oil.
This is a fantastic and healthy side dish to accompany beef, chicken or fish.
Yields: 8 servings
