Really yummy, fresh, healthy and different salad! It was fun I had never used bulgar wheat before, you make it like couscous!
|
Take some cherry tomatoes, parsley, garlic, 1/3 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes and rosemary and put them in a blender or food processor. |
|
Blend into a vinaigrette - this would also taste great on a green salad! |
|
With a spoon scrap out the gills of some portabella mushrooms. |
|
Slice mushrooms. |
|
Marinate in part of the vinaigrette - I know my picture looks stupid - All the vinaigrette went to the bottom of the bag so I put it upside down to let it drip to all over. |
|
Chop up some vegetable for grilling - I am sure any vegetable that grill well would be great. I used zucchini, peppers, and red onions. |
|
Toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper. I didn't do that with the onions because I was afraid they would fall apart. |
|
Put on skewers on the grill to make things a little faster and easier. |
|
Take one cup bulgar wheat and put in a bowl. |
|
Get 1 1/2 cups boiling water. I put mine in the microwave for 4 minutes to get it boiling. |
|
Cover the bowl with a towel to let steam. Wait until the water is soaked in, this took about 10 minutes. |
|
Grill all the vegetables while you are waiting until browned and they smell really good. |
|
Chop up some avocado |
|
I tested the bulgar when to see if it was done and then made sure it was well strained. |
|
Mix with your grilled vegetables. |
|
Add the rest of your vinaigrette. |
|
Yummy healthy salad! Yay - Whole grains and vegetables! |
