Rainbow Bulgar Veggie Bowl

One of my favorite things to make for dinner, especially when I can't decide what I want, is to just mix together tons of my favorite ingredients! Tonight I made a yummy bulgar salad filled with all kinds of delicious and nutritious goodies. It sure did hit the spot! And it's super easy to make, so when you come home after a long day, you don't have to slave for an hour to make a healthy meal. This salad is finished in just 20-30 minutes. It sounds a little long, but there's lots of prep you can do while the bulgar is a'cookin'!






Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup uncooked bulgar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup red kidney beans
  • 1/4 cup edamame
  • 1/4 cup whole kernel corn
  • 1 diced mini bell pepper
  • 1 diced cherry tomato
  • 1 tbsp roasted red pepper dressing
  • 1 block savory tofu (I used Wild Wood brand)
Directions:
  1. Pour water into a small pot and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Once water is boiling, pour bulgar into pot, stir a bit and cover. Bring heat down to lowest setting and let cook for 10-12 minutes.
  3. While bulgar is cooking, measure out beans and corn. Dice tomato and bell pepper. Cut tofu into cubes or strips.
  4. After 10-12 minutes have passed, turn off heat and let bulgar sit for 5-10 minutes more to let the water soak in. 
  5. Once time is up, place bulgar into a bowl. Transfer all other ingredients into bowl and stir. 
  6. Drizzle with dressing and serve.
