Bulgur-Asparagus Salad

Two of my favorite foods; bulgur and asparagus!

Bulgur-Asparagus Salad

2/3 cup Bulgar (ALA) from Soft White Wheat
1-1/3 cups Water
1 lb. Fresh Asparagus
1/4 cup Green Onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup Sweet Red Bell Pepper, seeded and chopped
1 medium Tomato, seeded & chopped
2-3 medium sized Fresh Basil Leaves, rolled & sliced
2 Tb White Wine Vinegar
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
1/8 tsp ground Peppercorns, Four Color Mix

In a medium-sized saucepan bring water to a boil; stir in bulgur, cover and
simmer for 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Remove from saucepan and allow to cool. Wash and cut asparagus into 2″ pieces (bite size). Prepare green onion, red bell pepper, tomato and fresh basil. In a large serving bowl combine the bulgur and fresh vegetables including the basil; lightly toss.

In a small mixing bowl combine the white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper (if using). Whisk together. Pour dressing over bulgur and veggie mixture and toss.

Yield: 2 generous servings
