We substituted oat groats, which are hulled, whole kernels of the oat grain, for bulgur wheat in this traditional Mediterranean main-dish salad. Ingredients:
2 cups water |
1 cup uncooked oat groats |
1 cup chopped seeded cucumber |
3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley |
1/2 cup chopped red onion |
1/2 cup finely chopped celery |
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint |
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 (4-ounce) package crumbled feta cheese with basil and sun-dried tomatoes |
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan; stir in groats. Bring mixture to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 24 to 26 minutes or just until tender.
2. Combine groats, cucumber, and next 8 ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
3. Drain groats and rinse under cold water. Drain well, and add to cucumber mixture. Cover and chill 3 hours.
4. Add feta cheese; toss gently before serving.
