Bulgur Salad with Edamame
Author: adapted from Cooking Light
Substitute any of the vegetables you like - the original recipe called for cherry tomatoes and green onions. I added red bell pepper, grated zucchini and chopped cucumber. Prefer another grain like barley or quinoa? This salad is great with both!

  • 2 cups shelled edamame (such as Melissa's)

  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped fresh mint
  • 2 Tbs chopped fresh dill
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ⅛ cup extra-virgin olive oil
