Bulgur Parsley And Mint Salad Recipes

Steps:

• This recipe is a breeze if you have a food processor, a little more work if you don't.
• If using a processor, chop parsley and mint together, using a pulsing action, to ensure that you don't end up pureeing them, and remove to a bowl.
• Repeat with green onions, and add it bowl.
• Chop tomatoes, preferably by hand, into about 1/4" dice, and add to bowl.
• If you are making this for company, you might want to chop everything by hand.
• It makes a much prettier dish than when made in the processor, but I never bother when it is for personal consumption; I just take a little care when using the processor.
• Wash bulghur thoroughly, drain, and soak in fresh hot water for about 1 hour.

• Peel one orange, carefully cut away the segments and add to the bowl. Squeeze the juice of the other into a jam jar with the oil. Season well and shake to emulsify. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan - separate the salad into four bowls or lunchboxes, pour half of the dressing onto the two portions being eaten today and store the remainder in the fridge for a later day. The salad will keep in the fridge for 2 days.
