Black Bean and Bulgur Salad

This “salad” is incredible simple, yet very tasty. It’s a nice alternative to beans and rice and to pasta salad, plus a great summer salad with no mayo. I simply sauteed a shallot for a minute before adding bulgur, water, chicken bullion, and sun-dried tomatoes. Once the water evaporated, about 10 minutes, I added frozen corn, rinsed black beans, diced red and green peppers, and seasoned it with cumin, salt, pepper, and red wine vinegar. Seth and I ate it at room temperature, and it was great. The peppers stayed crunchy, the corn was sweet, the sun-dried tomatoes were tangy. The dressing was simple, but added a lot of flavor to the bulgur. It was such a quick meal, but I thought it was pretty impressive.
