Black Bean Bulgur Salad

Black Bean Bulgur Salad

Ingredients:

1 cup bulgur
2 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup shredded carrots
3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
3/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Sliced jalapeno pepper, optional

About the Recipe

The only cooking in this easy bulgur salad is heating the broth in the microwave.
You can adapt the recipe to your preference; if you want to add chopped, cooked chicken, use chicken broth in place of vegetable broth.
