01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 bag Minute® Multi-Grain Medley, uncooked 1 cup vegetable broth 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon shallots, minced ¼ teaspoon Dijon-style mustard ½ cup chopped fresh parsley ½ cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved 2 green onions, sliced 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped Salt and ground black pepper, to taste ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (Optional)

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by cooking the Multi-Grain Medley as the package suggests, but use broth instead of water to add extra flavor. Once it’s done, let it cool completely. While that’s cooling, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped shallots, and a bit of mustard in a big bowl. When the grains have cooled, toss them into the bowl along with the chopped veggies and herbs. Give everything a good mix, then season with salt and pepper to your liking. If you want, sprinkle some crumbled feta on top before serving for a nice tangy finish.

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use fine bulgur and soak it in cold water for a softer texture.
- Chop herbs and vegetables finely to blend all the flavors well.
- Let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
