Veg out with this textured toss of chewy grains, tangy cheese, crunchy nuts, shallot, cuke, and citrus. Bulgur is packed with fiber and protein.

Ingredients

¼ cup medium-grind bulgur
1 tablespoon pine nuts
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (1 ounce)
½ shallot, minced
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cucumber, peeled, halved, seeded, and finely diced
½ head Boston lettuce, torn into large pieces
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

In a medium bowl, mix bulgur with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup boiling water. Cover; let sit until bulgur is tender (but still slightly chewy), about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small dry skillet over very low heat, toast pine nuts, tossing constantly, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and oil. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
Drain bulgur in a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to remove excess liquid; return to bowl. Add feta, shallot, parsley, cucumber, and half the dressing; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, toss lettuce with remaining dressing. Top with bulgur mixture and pine nuts.
