CALIFORNIA TABOULI

I don't think this dish can properly be called tabouli because it doesn't contain mint, but it was inspired by tabouli.

1 cup bulgar
2 cups boiling water
1 tsp. salt
2 lbs. tomatoes
1 small red onion
1 can black beans
1 bunch cilantro
4 oz. queso fresco or mild Feta cheese
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil

Pour 2 cups boiling water over bulgar and salt. Allow bulgar to soften while you prepare the other ingredients.

Chop tomatoes and leave in a colander to drain. Chop onion, cilantro and cheese. Rinse black beans. Drain and discard excess liquid from bulgar.

Toss bulgar, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, cheese and beans. Dress with lemon juice and olive oil. It's best prepared a couple of hours or more ahead of serving to allow flavors to develop.

I added fresh garlic, corn, and cumin. And, omitted the cheese to keep it low cal. A nice option for bulgar wheat besides tabouleh.

Incredibly tasty! I'm not a big fan of parsley (as is traditional for tabouli) but love this cilantro'd version. I used green onions in place of the red & lime juice in place of lemon.

From the first time I made it this dish is a summer staple for us. Great with anything bbq'd. Thanks for submitting it.
