Bulgur Asparagus Salad with Walnuts

Die DEUTSCHE ÜBERSETZUNG findet ihr unter dem englischen Rezept!

Inspired by a non-vegan (and generally different) version of this recipe (which I found through buzzfeed! :)), I decided to make a vegan version for a birthday party that we'll attend this weekend. Asparagus season just kicked in, so what better thing to make than an asparagus salad?

Ingredients:

• 750-1000g green asparagus
• 300g Bulgur (600ml water)
• 150g Cashew Feta
• 100g walnuts
• 3-4 medium sized carrots
• A hand full of fresh parsley
• 80ml olive oil
• 4 tablespoons mustard
• 3 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• some freshly ground pepper 

Easy: Bulgur Quinoa Salad

Let's face it, this was supposed to be a bulgur salad. Then I realized I only had one cup of bulgur left, so I cooked an extra cup of quinoa. So if you don't have quinoa, feel free to double the bulgur... or use couscous instead!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of bulgur
• 1 cup of quinoa 
• 4 cups of water
• 1 jar of dried tomatoes in oil (ca. 300g) - do not throw out the oil!
• 150g of dried cranberries
• some fresh basil
• salt and pepper
