Bulgur Chickpea Salad

Bulgur Chickpea Salad #onepotmealThis was another recipe taken from my $5 cookbook I picked up at Five Below a few weeks ago. This cookbook was well worth the price with so many great recipes taken from the country’s most popular food magazines. This was one taken from an issue of Cooking Light. I only made a few minor adjustments, using chickpeas instead of soybeans and eliminating the dill, which I am not a fan of. This is like a twist on tabbouleh except this can also serve as a one pot meal because of the protein added from the beans.

You can use fresh tomatoes in this recipe, but I had just slow roasted some tomatoes with garlic and fresh herbs using this methodology. The natural sweetness that comes from roasted tomatoes created additional flavor in this salad.

This is a great grain based salad that has protein so it can easily serve as a one pot meal…a filling and healthy one to keep you in shape during the winter months.
