TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + standing YIELD: 6 servings.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup bulgur
  • 1-1/2 cups boiling water
  • 1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 plum tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/3 cup roasted sweet red peppers, drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and chopped

Directions

  • 1. Place bulgur in a large bowl; stir in boiling water. Let stand, covered, until bulgur is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Drain well, pressing out excess water. Cool completely.
  • 2. Add beans, tomato, onion, red peppers and cilantro; gently toss to combine. In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, oil, salt and pepper. Drizzle over bulgur mixture; gently toss to coat. Refrigerate. Top with avocado just before serving.
