Bulgur Wheat and Peach Salad image

Wow is this good and so easy! You could easily add a can of drained and rinsed black beans to make a fabulous vegan meal. I left out the mint and loved it. The recipe says feel free to make this a day ahead of time, as it refrigerates well. Recipe originally from Cooking Light July 2009.
