BULGUR NUT SALAD5 to 9 A DAY FRUITS & VEGETABLES

Hello. Here's more fruit and vegetable news you can really enjoy. Try this Middle Eastern salad, called Bazargan, with a base of cracked wheat or bulgur. Bulgur is a whole grain, so it's packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It's found in the pasta and rice aisle of many markets. First, soak one cup of bulgur in boiling water for 15 minutes, drain and squeeze out excess moisture. Chop and sauté one sweet onion in a touch of olive oil until soft. Add ½ cup tomato purée, dried mint, allspice, cumin, and chopped walnuts, and the soaked bulgur. Moisten with fresh lemon juice, then mix thoroughly. Cover and let the flavors blend for a while. By all means, add chopped tomatoes and cucumber for an extra vegetable serving. This salad will keep well in the refrigerator. So, go on, do yourself a flavor. Enjoy your 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
