Ingredients

  • 1 cup bulgur dry
  • 2 peaches cut into ~1 inch chunks
  • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 tsp fresh mint finely chopped
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger grated

Instructions

  • Place bulgur into a medium, heat safe bowl.  Pour 2 ½ cups of boiling water over bulgur and cover bowl with lid or saran wrap.  Let sit for 20-30 minutes, or until bulgur is tender. Drain excess water, fluff with a fork, and set aside to cool.
  • Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, fresh ginger, and fresh mint to make a dressing.
  • Gently mix together cooked bulgur, peaches, and chickpeas.  Drizzle with dressing, stir well, and serve.

Notes

  • Mix it up by trying farro, quinoa, or another whole grain instead of bulgur (you can do this to make the recipe gluten-free too, if needed).
  • To make vegan, simply use agave or your favorite liquid sweetener instead of honey.
