Delicious sesame dressing enhances this healthy burghul salad with capsicum and seeds.
Ingredients:
  • 90g (1/2 cup) burghul
  • 45g (1/3 cup) slivered almonds
  • 24.00 gm sesame seeds
  • 1/2 medium red onion, diced
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, diced
  • 250g (1 punnet) cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 small red capsicum, halved, deseeded, diced
  • 55g (1/2 cup) bean salad sprouts
  • 40.00 ml sunflower seed kernels
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 9.20 gm olive oil
  • Salt & ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a small heatproof bowl, cover the burghul with boiling water and let it soak for 15 minutes. Then, strain the burghul using a fine sieve, pressing out any excess moisture with the back of a metal spoon.
  • Spread almonds and sesame seeds evenly on a baking tray and toast in a preheated oven until golden, about 4-5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a serving bowl to cool slightly.
  • Combine the burghul, onion, cucumber, tomatoes, capsicum, sprouts, and sunflower kernels, tossing everything together.
  • Prepare the sesame dressing by combining lemon juice, sesame oil, olive oil, and garlic in a screw-top jar. Season with salt and pepper, then shake vigorously until well combined.
  • Drizzle dressing over salad and toss until evenly coated.
