Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Pour in the bulgur wheat and cook for about 10 min. Drain the grain as you would pasta through a sieve.
  2. While the bulgur wheat is cooking cut the asparagus into pieces that are about ½ inch in size.
  3. Saute the asparagus with some oil for about 5 mins and then add the peas. Continue to saute the asparagus and peas until they have a nice golden color and are tender. Lightly salt.
  4. While the veggies are cooking crumble the parmesan into little pieces.
  5. Combine the bulgur wheat, vegetables, pistachios and parmesan in a bowl.
  6. Next make the dressing: In a food processor or blender combine the dressing ingredients and blend until smooth, adding water until you get a smooth and pourable consistency.
  7. Serve the salad with the dressing on the side or drizzled over the top.
