The only cooking in this easy bulgur salad is heating the broth and bulgur. You can adapt the recipe to your preference; if you want to add chopped cooked chicken, use chicken broth in place of vegetable broth. —Carole Resnick, Cleveland, Ohio

Ingredients

1 cup bulgur
2 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup shredded carrots
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Sliced jalapeno pepper, optional

Directions

Place bulgur and broth in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until tender, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cool slightly.

For dressing, whisk together citrus juices, minced jalapeno, oil and cumin. Add 1/3 cup dressing to bulgur; stir in carrots and cilantro.
To serve, divide bulgur mixture among 4 bowls. Top with beans, corn, cheese and, if desired, sliced jalapeno. Drizzle with remaining dressing.

Test Kitchen tips

Bulgur is sometimes called cracked wheat. It’s a whole grain that’s been boiled, dried and ground. Since it’s been pre-cooked, it cooks up faster than most whole grains.

If you like the heat of spicy foods, include some or all of the seeds from the jalapeno pepper.
