Salad:
3/4-cup medium-coarse bulgur
2 cups water
4 cups small broccoli florets
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed, drained
1 can ready-packed tomatoes
1 cup shredded carrots
1 navel orange, peeled, coarsely chopped
1 small red onion, halved, thinly sliced
Dressing:

2 tsp. grated lemon zest
2 Tbs. orange juice
2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, crushed through a press
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Directions:
To make the salad:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the bulgur and water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed (15-20 minutes).
- Spread the bulgur out on a jelly-roll pan and place in freezer for 10-15 minutes to cool.
- Meanwhile, rinse the saucepan, fill it with 1 inch of water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Add broccoli and return to a boil.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until broccoli is crisp-tender (3-4 minutes).
- Drain in a colander and cool briefly under cold water.
- Place bulgur, broccoli, beans, carrots, chopped orange and onion in large salad bowl.
To make the dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest, orange juice, ginger, garlic, salt and red pepper flakes.
- Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. If there is time, let salad sit at room temp before serving.
