What You’ll Need

  • 1 cup dry bulgur: #3 course works best but and size grain will do
  • 2 cups water: for cooking the bulgur
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans:drained and rinsed, because we want that pure flavor.
  • 1 cup corn: fresh or frozen; it just adds that sweet crunch.
  • 1 red bell pepper: diced into vibrant pieces for that pop!
  • 1 small red onion: diced, and it’s got such a nice bite to it.
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes: halved for juicy bursts.
  • 1 avocado: diced and creamy; it takes it to another level.
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro: chopped, because fresh herbs make everything better.
  • Juice of 2 limes: this is where the zing comes from!
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil: adds richness to the dressing.
  • Salt and pepper: to taste, always gotta season it right!
  • 1 teaspoon cumin (optional): for those who want a little warmth, but it’s totally up to you!
 
And the dry bulgur to a heat safe bowl, cover with 2 cups boiling water, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes. The water will be absorbed, and the bulgur will become light and fluffy. Mix remaining ingredients toss and serve!
