Healthy Lunch#2: Whole wheat bulghur salad w harissa dressing



















Harissa dressing
http://mideastfood.about.com/od/dipsandsauces/r/harissa.htm
Lemon juice
olive oil
I use a 3:1:1 of Harissa, olive oil and lemon juice to make the dressing. Use a fork to whisk the three together - Remember this makes a VERY spicy dressing.
Bulghur salad
Equal proportions of
Bulghur
Chopped cucumbers
Chopped Bell Peppers- Red & Green
mint
arugula / hearts of romaine
edamame
chickpeas
cranberries
red onion
sunflower seeds
mint leaves - 10
For Lunch, I usually prepare the whole salad and pack the dressing in a separate container , with salt added to the dressing. This way the salad remains fresh until the dressing is added. That way the greens dont get all wilted and soggy
Use Whole wheat bulgur as opposed to normal bulgur which does not have adequate fibre, Kinda looks like this (Image from Elite fitness solutions)
