Bulgar wheat and roasted vegetables salad

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!
