Categories     Vegetables

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 c bulgur, uncooked
1/2 c pitted dates, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c pistachios
1 orange, peeled and cut into sections
2 c baby spinach leaves
DRESSING
1 orange, peeled
1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c fresh cilantro leaves, packed
2 Tbsp water to adjust consistency

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the bulgur according to package directions, adding the dates and salt just at the end of the cooking time. This helps soften the dates a bit and gives the bulgur good flavor. Cool the bulgur for 20-30 minutes for a cold salad.
  • 2. In a food processor, combine all the dressing ingredients except the cilantro. Puree until smooth, removing any pieces of orange that can't be broken down any further. Add the cilantro to the smooth mixture, pulse a few times, and set aside.
  • 3. Toss the cooled bulgur and dates mixture with the other salad ingredients. Drizzle or toss with the dressing. Serve immediately.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I had some roasted carrots and broccoli, and they worked perfectly. The dressing is light and flavorful, and the cilantro adds a nice touch of freshness.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still very good! The dressing is tangy and flavorful, and the vegetables are roasted to perfection.

Easy 5 stars! The dressing is tangy and refreshing, and the roasted vegetables are tender and flavorful. I served it over quinoa instead of couscous and it was a hit!
