4 cups prepared bulgur*
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Toss these together.
2 carrots, cleaned and diced
3 scallions, diced
2 large celery stalks, diced
Mix all of these together in a bowl and remove about 1/3 of a cup for an end garnish.
Cook the rest in about 2 1/2T of butter, with salt and pepper for about 3 minutes. You want these lightly cooked, not soggy.

1/4 tsp salt
In the same pan you did the veg in, melt the butter and add the ceci. Stir it up.
3 Tablespoons Frank’s (or other good hot sauce you like to taste)
1T white vinegar
Add to the ceci
Top the bulgur with the ceci. Then add the reserved veg.
3T blue cheese crumbles
Add to the bowls. Serve with blue cheese dressing.
* bulgur is amazing. Think of it as a whole grain minute rice- it’s cracked and steamed wheat that you basically just have to either pour water over in the morning and let it soak while you go about your day, or bring it to a boil and let it sit for about 15 minutes while you get the rest of your meal on. And it’s delicious- creamy and nutty and a whole grain that is just perfect for getting your fiber up!
