The secret to this bright and tangy salad is the unusual (but easy to make!) dressing. You can make all sorts of great summer salads with whole grains, vegetables, and a quick dressing.
ingredients
1/2 cup #3 coarse bulgur
1 cup water
1 16-ounce (1 pound) bag of frozen Asian vegetables (or stir-fry mix)
Dressing
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried cilantro
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, bring the bulgur and water to a boil. Cover and let sit for 25 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.
2. Place the bag of frozen vegetables in a microwave safe dish and cook until defrosted but not hot.
2. In a large bowl, add the honey, olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, cilantro, ginger, 2 pinches of salt and some cracked black pepper. Whisk together. Add the vegetables and the bulgur. Stir well to coat everything in the dressing. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
Tips: You can of course use fresh vegetables if you prefer, and simply stir-fry them briefly to the desired tenderness.
