This was easy and a delicious side for the yogurt chicken I made the other night. My sister raved about this and my husband, who normally prefers bulgur and other grains to quinoa, really enjoyed it.

Try this when fresh corn is cheap and…

I do not know who came up with this--I got it from and instructor at my health club who got it from a friend. Anyway, it's really good.

Make this dressing with homemade or purchased day old corn bread, or use packaged corn bread stuffing mix.

Bulgur Pilaf by Salad Foodie

Faster and easier to cook than rice, bulgur is a grain to consider for making pilaf. High in fiber and low in fat makes this side dish a healthful choice. Easily converts to vegetarian by omitting the chicken broth. (Medium to large grind bulgur will be best for this recipe.)
