Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1¼ cups low-sodium vegetable broth, heated
• 1 cup bulgur
• 1½ tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Preparation:

1. Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat, and sauté the garlic until it is tender; do not let it get brown.

3. Fluff bulgur with a fork. Gently stir in diced and dried tomatoes.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, canola oil, crushed red pepper, salt (if desired), and pepper. Pour over bulgur and blend well. Serve warm.
