Although tabbouleh is a traditional Middle Eastern salad, we've added some Greek flavor with feta cheese. Serve with pita wedges and fresh fruit.

Ingredients:

1 (5.25-ounce) package tabbouleh mix (such as near east)

1 cup boiling water

1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh lemon rind

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

2 cups chopped romaine lettuce

1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese with basil and sun-dried tomatoes

3/4 cup chopped plum tomato (about 2)

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1 (16-ounce) can navy beans, rinsed and drained

Directions:

1. Combine tabbouleh mix (bulgur wheat and spice packet) and boiling water in a large bowl. Cover and let stand in refrigerator 30 minutes or until water is absorbed.
2. Add lemon rind and next 3 ingredients to tabbouleh mixture; toss well. Add lettuce and remaining ingredients, and toss gently. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
