I whipped together a quick and tasty Artichoke Bulgur Salad yesterday. At just 130 calories per serving, this easy recipe makes a great mini-meal, side dish or snack. For a full meal, add some grilled chicken, shrimp, or feta. A satisfying vegan meal would simply require, doubling up the chick peas and perhaps adding some sliced olives.
I will be making this Artichoke Bulgur Salad a lot in the eventually coming summer. It is perfect beach or picnic fare. Good at any temperature, and not particularly prone to spoilage. Until then, it and similar dishes fuel me through the grueling winter months, with a fresh flash of warmer days, complex carbs and essential nutrients.
