Bulgur Salad with Feta and Mint
POINTS® Value: 3 Servings: 6 Preparation Time: 10 min Cooking Time: 17 min Level of Difficulty: Easy Works with Simply Filling Bulgur — steamed, dried, crushed wheat kernels — is a snap to prepare and goes well with a variety of herbs. Try chives, cilantro or mint.
1/2 tsp table salt 1 1/2 cup(s) uncooked bulgur 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, or to taste 4 tsp olive oil 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/2 cup(s) crumbled feta cheese 1/2 cup(s) mint leaves, fresh, chopped
Combine 1 1/2 cups of cold water and salt in a small pot; bring to a boil and stir in bulgur. Cover pot, remove from heat and set aside until bulgur is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Fluff bulgur with a fork; allow to cool.
Spoon bulgur into a salad bowl. Add lemon juice, oil and pepper; stir well. Add cheese and mint; stir gently, but well. Yields about 2/3 cup per serving.
Note: Toss in some roasted grape tomatoes for additional flavor and lots of color (could affect POINTS values).
