This makes a splendid companion to curried vegetable dishes, as in the menu suggested here.

　　

Ingredients

4 to 6 servings

　　1 cup bulgur

　　1 cup mixed dried fruit bits (see note)

　　2 medium celery stalks, finely diced

　　1/2 cup natural low-fat honeymustard dressing

　　1/3 cup toasted sliced or slivered almonds

　　

Step 1

Boil 2 cups water. Pour the water over the bulgur in a heatproof container and cover. Let stand for 30 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Allow the bulgur to cool, uncovered, until it is at room temperature.

　　

Step 2

Transfer the bulgur to a serving container. Add the remaining ingredients, stir to combine, and serve. If making ahead of time, add the almonds just before serving.
