1 cup chicken stock
1 cup Bulgar wheat
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup finely diced green pepper (apx 1/2 small green pepper)
1/4 cup finely diced red onion (apx 1/2 small red onion)
1 large red chili pepper, seeded, cored and diced (reserve seeds for dressing)
15 1/2 ounces black beans
15 1/2 ounces corn
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon lime zest (apx 2 limes)
1/3 cup lime juice (apx 3 limes)
1/2 tablespoon fresh garlic (apx 1-2 cloves, see cooking tip above)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
seeds from red chili pepper (the more, the spicier)
1 large avocado, diced (coat with lime juice)
tostitos roll, break in half and sprinkle on top

Steps:

  • Bring the chicken stock to a boil on high in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add bulgur wheat. Stir to mix well, then cover and set aside. It needs to sit for 30 minutes, so now we work on the other components.
  • Chop, slice and dice the veggies (tomatoes, green pepper, onion, chile) and throw them, beans and corn in a medium salad bowl, or if you plan on saving some for later in the week, it's easiest to put it directly in a large bowl of your food storage container of choice.
  • Add dressing ingredients (the next 8 ingredients) to a bowl except oil, add slowly at the end whisking until combined.
  • Allow bulgur wheat to cool, then add it to the veggies and toss to combine. Pour on the dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Remove from the fridge, add avocado, toss to combine (if you're looking at leftovers, keep avocado separate, tightly wrapped). Top with chips. Ole!

TEXAS TABBOULEH

I used to live in Texas and since moving away, missed those classic Tex-Mex flavors that were always such a big part of my meals. I decided to create a fresh and healthy salad that reminds me of traditional pico de gallo. My friends especially love it because it's so different; it's always a pretty popular dish at our gatherings. -Tammy Davis, Arlington, Virginia
