Flavor Meets Color in This Salad

Janet Groene's
Carnival Bulgur Salad

    Here’s a colorful side dish to go with almost anything. It’s a starch plus a cornucopia of colorful vegetable bits that bring fresh flavor to an ancient grain. Unlike most other starch courses, bulgur and instant rice are very quick to prepare and require minimal water.

     Make this salad when you don’t want to steam rice, heat buckets of water for pasta or boil potatoes.
1 1/2 cups plain bulgur or instant rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Medium  red onion, finely diced
Bottled Italian dressing
Small yellow squash and zucchini, each chopped
Small red and green sweet peppers, seeded and chopped

    Prepare bulgur or rice according to package directions. You need 3 cups cooked rice or bulgur.
    Add 2 tablespoons dressing while it’s hot. Stir in vegetables, then add dressing to taste. Serve now or chill for later. Serves 4 to 6.


Cook’s note: Make this salad a meal by adding chopped hard-boiled eggs or tuna, cooked chicken bites or diced Spam.
