Warm Winter Walnut Salad

Warm Winter Walnut Salad Serves 4

2 cups water
1 cup bulgur (cracked wheat) or long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon salt
1 1-pound bag mixed frozen vegetables such as broccoli, corn and red peppers
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped California walnuts
1/2 cup chopped green onions
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives
freshly ground pepper
4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce (half a head)

Dressing:

1 cup nonfat yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives

1. In a large saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil over high heat. Add the bulgur or rice and vegetables and stir to combine. When the mixture returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low, then cover the pan and simmer for 15 minutes. Set aside off heat, still covered, for 5 minutes.

2. Using a fork, scrape the mixture into a large bowl. Add the lemon juice, walnuts, onions and parsley and combine by stirring and tossing with a fork. Season with pepper to taste. Spread the lettuce around the rim of a large platter.

3. To make the dressing, stir together the yogurt, lemon juice and parsley in a small bowl.

4. Mound the salad in the center of the lettuce and spoon some of the dressing over the salad. Pass the remaining dressing at the table.
