2. Cooking Directions

  1. Put the bulgur wheat in a saucepan with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the bulgur is tender and all of the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Spread in a flat dish and allow to cool slightly.
  2. Combine the onion, carrot, tomato, corn, cucumber, and shrimp in a large salad bowl. Add the bulgur and stir together.
  3. For the dressing, place the oil, lime juice, garlic, and chilies in a small bowl; add salt and pepper to taste. Whisk with a fork. Stir the dressing into the salad, tossing to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cover the salad and keep it in the refrigerator if not serving immediately.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

This nutty-textured, colorful salad is a great main dish for a summer lunch or picnic. From Cut Your Cholesterol. Bulgur is coarsely ground wheat that has been parboiled, so it's quick and easy to prepare.

Notes:

Variation

For a bulgur wheat and feta salad, replace the shrimp with 3 ounces of diced feta cheese. Another alternative to the prawns is diced tofu.
