Not Oatmeal Breakfast Salad

For the ladies and gents who asked. Salad is good any time of day. I like it in the am instead of hot cereal. In this case bulgur subs for oatmeal, but so could barley or wheat berry. Any whole grain. The veg can be poached from leftovers. Do yourself a favor and dress with olive oil or lemon juice, or better yet make a super simple vinaigrette that has zero of the additives of store brands.

1/2 cup cooked bulgur warm, cold or room temp

Handful cooked green beans whole, or 1 inch

Handful grape tomatoes, halved

1/4 bell pepper, sliced and diced

2 spoonfuls feta (or cooked white beans for dairy averse)

Sprinkle of chopped parsley, dill, both or nothing

Vinaigrette

1 tablespoon olive oil

2-3 teaspoons white vinegar

1 teaspoon-ish

A few grinds of pepper

2 big pinches salt

Shake & drizzle over salad

Double down if you're feeding more than one

Eat – B
