-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/3 cup bulgur -- medium or coarse

2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup pecan halves
2 small Roma tomatoes -- seeded and chopped
1/4 cucumber, English
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1. In a medium bowl combine bulgur, 1 teaspoon salt, and water. Let bulgur
soak, uncovered, until softened, 20 to 25 minutes.

moderately low heat, shaking skillet frequently, until a shade darker, 4 to
5 minutes. Cool pecans and chop. Seed tomato and chop. Chop cucumber.

pecans, and dill. Drizzle with dressing and toss well. Divide greens
between 2 plates and top with bulgur mixture.
