    Nutritious Kale Bulgur Salad

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on August 8, 2013 Dairy-Free Recipes, Salad

    This savory bulgur salad is packed full of amazing, healthy ingredients:

    Bulgur Salad with Grapes

    Bulgur: This whole grain is cracked whole wheat. For gluten-free, don’t hesitate to substitute cooked quinoa or millet. They take a bit longer to cook (must be boiled), but use the same ratios of water and salt.

    Kale: Though a bit overdone in recent years (kale chips, anyone?), kale is a powerhouse of dairy-free calcium, not to mention the other vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in this brilliantly green veggie.

    Grapes: Packed with antioxidants and other polyphenols, grapes have been linked in studies to heart health, and it is believed that they help our bodies in many other ways, too.

    Parsley: This is a little known healthy bone food, thanks to its rich Vitamin K content. Parsley also lends a good dose of Vitamins C and A to this bulgur salad.

    Pecans: We often praise nuts for their beneficial oils, but pecans also boast a generous handful of heart-healthy antioxidants.

    This bulgur salad recipe and image were shared with us by www.grapesfromcalifornia.com. They do offer more recipes on their website, but note that not all are dairy-free.
