This is a very satisfying, very healthy salad. Ingredients:
1 cup medium grain bulgar wheat |
1/2 cup dried garbanzo beans, cooked |
6 medium tomatoes, varying colors |
1 medium cucumber |
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped |
salt |
pepper |
extra virgin olive oil |
lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Pour boiling water over the bulgur to cover, and let sit for 1 hour.
2. Drain, and fluff with a fork.
3. Combine the bulgur and the cooked chickpeas.
4. Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. A good ratio is 2:1 olive oil : lemon juice.
5. Cut each tomato in half through the stem. Cut off the stem, and scoop out the seeds. Chop the flesh into 1/4 inch cubes. Dice the cucumber into 1/4 cubs.
6. Add the tomatoes, cucumber and the parsley to the bulgur. Stir to combine.
