Bulgar Salad with Sweet Potatoes, Kale, Chickpeas
I loved this recipe from Cook's Country, but for something that has a lot of nutritional ingredients, it felt like it had too many calories, fat, and carbs. I eliminated the walnuts and changed the proportions of other ingredients to make it something I can eat for lunch. I end up getting 5 servings out this generous recipe. (The original recipe served 4 with 915 calories, 51g fat, 96g carbs, and 27g protein. This version and a smaller serving size has 500 calories, 19g fat, 56g carbs, and 17g protein.
Other changes I made were cubing the sweet potato instead of making wedges and I cook the kale at the end of the bulgur cooking time. I do not care for raw kale.
Obviously bowl recipes are very forgiving and you can adjust any amounts to suit your tastes and dietary needs. This recipe holds well in the refrigerator for the week, so it makes a nice lunch if you like to prep ahead.
