Description

I used to live in Texas and since moving away, missed those classic Tex-Mex flavors that were always such a big part of my meals. I decided to create a fresh and healthy salad that reminds me of traditional pico de gallo. My friends especially love it because its so different; its always a pretty popular dish at our gatherings. —Tammy Davis, Arlington, Virginia

Prepared as directed. The response from folks, Its okay. It was a lot of work for okay.

Delicious! I used Israeli couscous instead, because thats what I had at home. I couldnt stop eating it!

Absolutely fabulous! Easy to make and really good for you!! This is a regular for me now!!

I am always skeptical of recipes that are Texas adapted, but this is great. A good hearty salad or a vegetarian lunch. I substituted black eyed peas for black beans and cherry tomatoes, but still great. For a Texas taste, use queso fresco, not feta.

Interesting combination of flavors

I prepared this recipe for a food demo highlighting healthy grains. I used quinoa instead. Very nice, the feta cheese gave it nice tang. Beautiful colors

We enjoyed this recipe last night along with grilled lamb. The recipe is very easy to make...directions are clear...except one step is missing...doesn't say how to prep the tomatoes, but I chopped them like the other veggies. I used feta cheese and parsley instead of cilantro. I would make this recipe again and again.

Very nice. I took it to a pot luck and everyone enjoyed it. The black beans add a nice colour contrast.

We just tried this for dinner this evening; healthy and delicious and now one of our favorites! The jalapeno gives it a nice kick!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup bulgur
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 3 medium tomatoes
  • 1 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
