BULGUR WHEAT SALAD WITH TOMATO AND CUCUMBER
A delicious and healthy side salad. Buglur is high in fiber and low in fat, rich in B vitamins, iron, phosphorous and manganese and has been a staple of the Mediterranean diet for thousands of years. This recipe is so simple and yet each flavor blends perfectly together. Originally found in one of my South Beach Diet cookbooks, this recipe has been tweaked just a bit to suit my tastes. Note: prep time includes time for bulgur to soak in water.

BULGUR AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH
Bulgur is more nutritious than rice and couscous, and you can use it in so many recipes, i.e. soups, baking, pilafs, or as stuffing. This recipe is a take off of the more traditional barley and squash dish, but it's healthier, lower in fat and wonderful. This is also a low glycemic dish. You can serve this as a side to meat, or serve as is with a side salad and some apple slices.
