Roasted Bell Pepper, Feta, Chive, and Lemon Bulgar Salad

One day recently when the weather was bitter cold, and the snow flakes were falling I got the biggest craving for Roasted Red Bell Peppers and a little taste of summer. I was thrilled when I found a bag of them in the freezer section of Trader Joe's. I of course could not resist, so I brought them home and used them to create this light and healthy salad. After one bite, I was so glad that I did!

Roasted Bell Pepper, Feta, Chive, and Lemon Bulgar Salad
Serves 4

1 Cup of Bulgar Wheat
1 1/2 Cups of Boiling Water

1 1/2 Tsp. Sea Salt
1-2 Lemons
1/4 Cup Olive Oil

1 Bag of Trader Joe's Frozen Red and Yellow Bell Peppers, thawed in the refrigerator over night
4-5 Fresh Whole Roasted Red and/or Yellow Bell Peppers, seeded and core removed
2 Tbs. Fresh Chives, minced
1/4 of a red onion, diced
4 oz. Feta Cheese Crumbled

Combine the bulgar wheat and the boiling water in a mixing bowl and allow to rest on the counter top for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, juice the lemons and combine 1/4 a cup of lemon juice with the olive oil and the salt. Add this mixture to the bulgar wheat after it has rested. Mix well and let stand for another 15 minutes.

Chop up the bell peppers, and combine with the chives, red onion and Feta. Toss gently into the bulgar salad mixture and serve.
