VEGETABLE TABBOULEH WITH CHICKPEAS
This vegetable-packed salad requires no cooking, other than boiling water to soak the bulgur wheat. Sweet tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers and crisp asparagus provide texture, while creamy chickpeas add heft. A tangy shallot-lemon vinaigrette brightens the dish and soaks into the bulgur as it sits, developing more flavor over time. The salad can be made a few hours ahead; for best results, toss the salad with half of the dressing and reserve the remaining half. When ready to serve, toss with the reserved dressing to freshen it up. It's a satisfying vegetarian main, a great side for roasted meats and fish, or an easy make-ahead picnic dish.

- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine shallot, mustard, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in oil until well blended.
- Add remaining ingredients to the vinaigrette and toss to evenly coat. Once bulgur has cooled, add bulgur, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss again. Transfer to a large serving bowl or platter to serve.

- Combine the bulghur wheat with chick peas, parsley, mint and scallions and tomatoes. In a small bowl combine lemon zest with olive oil and juice; season well with salt and pepper and stir into salad. Add more olive oil or lemon juice and serve immediately.

This is from BH&G's Low Calorie magazine, Spring 1986 issue. The intro says, "Tabbouleh, Middle Eastern in origin, is made with bulgur, a wheat product." I confess that I love this salad!
