Bulgur Salad With Green Onion Vinaigrette image

This is from Bobby Flay, from the episode of Middle Eastern Grilling. This sounds like a different, refreshing salad. I will probably use any honey I have on hand. Posted for ZWT 2010.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup bulgur, medium-grind
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
2 plum tomatoes, finely diced
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
4 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon buckwheat honey
1 serrano chili, chopped
1/2 cup canola oil or 1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place bulgur in a large bowl, pour 3 cups boiling water over, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Drain well, squeezing out as much water as possible, if needed.
  • Return the cooked bulgur to the bowl and mix in the onion, tomatoes, parsley, mint, and 4 sliced green onions.
  • Place the lime juice, honey, serrano, and 1/2 cup chopped green onion in a blender and blend until smooth.
  • With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified. If the mixture appears too thick, blend in a few tablespoons of cold water, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Transfer the salad to a platter and drizzle with the green onion vinaigrette.
