VEGETABLE TABBOULEH WITH CHICKPEAS



Vegetable Tabbouleh With Chickpeas image

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.

Boiling water, as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons minced shallot
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon grated garlic
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
