Bulgur Salad with Feta and Mint
5 PointsPlus
Serves: 6
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 cups uncooked bulgur
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, or to taste
4 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup 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 serving bowl. Add lemon juice, oil and pepper; stir well. Add cheese and mint; stir gently, but well.
Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.
Note: Toss in some roasted grape tomatoes for additional flavor and lots of color (could affect PointsPlus values).
