Tasteworthy: Colorful Bulgar Salad

A Simple & Colorful Bulgar Salad

Ingredients

1 has avocado, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

1 small tomato, cut into 1/2 inch cubes

2 tbsp roughly chopped cilantro

1 - 2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

3 scallions, white and light green parts only

juice from 1 lime

2 - 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

salt & pepper to taste

1 cup coarse bulgar (cracked wheat)

3 cups vegetable broth (can substitute water or chicken broth)

Instructions

Cook bulgar according to package instructions, allow to cool completely. Once cooled toss with all ingredients and season with salt & pepper. I did not use low sodium vegetable broth when I cooked my bulgar so the salad did not need much additional salt. It makes a nice hearty salad for a vegetarian lunch or dinner and it is also a pretty side dish. A quick tip: The more colorful the food on your plate is the better it is for you.
