Bulgur, Broccoli, and Chickpea Salad Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup bulgur wheat
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 small head of broccoli, cut into small florets
• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the bulgur, stir to combine, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the bulgur is tender and the water is absorbed.
2. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender but still slightly firm. Drain and rinse the broccoli under cold water to stop the cooking process.
3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked bulgur, broccoli florets, chickpeas, sliced red onion, parsley, and mint. Toss to combine.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil to make the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
