From Preparation and cooking time: 20-25 minutes
You Will Need
1 cup bulgur wheat
3 cups water
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1 carrot, coarsely grated
1 tomato, diced
1 can (8 ounces) baby corn, sliced into rounds
1/2 cucumber, diced
7 ounces peeled cooked shrimp
Lime and chili dressing:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried chilies
Salt and pepper to taste
What to Do
1. Put the bulgur wheat in a saucepan with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the bulgur is tender and all of the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Spread in a flat dish and allow to cool slightly.
2. Combine the onion, carrot, tomato, corn, cucumber, and shrimp in a large salad bowl. Add the bulgur and stir together.
3. For the dressing, place the oil, lime juice, garlic, and chilies in a small bowl; add salt and pepper to taste. Whisk with a fork. Stir the dressing into the salad, tossing to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cover the salad and keep it in the refrigerator if not serving immediately.
