Ingredients
1/2 cup cracked bulgur wheat
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head romaine, finely shredded
2 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves
4 scallions, sliced
Small handful fresh mint leaves
Directions
- Bring the bulgur and 1 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover and cook until all the water is absorbed and the bulgur is tender and fluffy, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Put the oil, lemon zest and juice, vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small jar or container with a lid. Secure the lid, and shake to combine.
- Put the romaine, tomatoes, bell peppers, parsley, scallions, mint and cooked bulgur in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette, and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper
