Creamy Bulgur, Corn, And Asparagus Salad

 

Dressing;

2 tablespoons raw almonds

water as needed

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon water

2 teaspoons nutritional yeast flakes

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 dash cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons safflower oil

1/3 cup freshly chopped cilantro

1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley

 

Salad;

1 cup bulgur, rinsed

1 1/2 cups water

1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce

8 ounces asparagus, tough ends trimmed

1 cup cut corn

1 cup diced fennel, including frond tops

3/4 cup diced seeded orange or red pepper

1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions

 

Begin the dressing by placing the almonds in a small

bowl, cover them with water, place them in the

refrigerator, and leave them to soak overnight to

loosen their skins. Remove the almonds from the water,

squeeze each almond between your thumb and forefinger

to remove the skin, place them on a towel, and set

them aside to dry.

In a blender or food processor, place the almonds and

process for 1 to 2 minutes to finely grind them.

Scrape down the sides of the container, add the lime

juice, water, nutritional yeast flakes, sea salt,

black pepper, and cayenne pepper, and process for 30

seconds.

Add the safflower oil and process for 1 minute to form

a smooth puree. Add the cilantro and parsley, pulse

several times to combine, and set the dressing aside.

Next, prepare the bulgur by placing it in a large

bowl, pour the water and tamari over the top, and stir

well to combine. Set the bulgur mixture aside for 1 to

1 1/2 hours or until all of the liquid has been

absorbed and the bulgur is tender. Add the reserved

dressing to the bulgur and toss well to thoroughly

coat the bulgur with the dressing.

Using a vegetable peeler, peel the stems of the

asparagus, and then slice the asparagus spears

diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the asparagus,

corn, fennel, orange/red pepper, and green onions to

the bulgur mixture, and toss gently to combine. Taste

and adjust the seasonings, as desired. The bulgur

salad mixture can also be served as a sandwich or wrap

filling.

Yields 6 servings.
