INSTRUCTIONS

This is similar to Sweet Pasta Salad but uses bulgur instead.
Dressing: combine all ingredients and let sit while you prepare the
rest.  Bulgur: Combine bulgur and water in a large mixing bowl and let
sit  for approximately 30 minutes or until all water has been absorbed,
tossing lightly with a fork to aid absorption.  Chop the apple and soak
in lemon juice until reacy for final  combining to prevent apple from
turning brown.  Combine bulgur wheat and all other ingredients in a
very large mixing  bowl and toss with dressing.  Serve or refrigerate.
This salad  travels well and will keep about a week in the
refrigerator.  NOTE: Bulgur is cracked wheat used in Middle Eastern
food, such as  Tabbouli Salad.  It is available at Trader Joe's and
Ralph's in a  small red box under the brand name Ala.
