Bulgur Salad with Oranges and Dubliner Cheese

Low in fat and high in protein, bulgur is the perfect base for a healthy salad. Coupled with a tangy citrus dressing and toppings including raisins and Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese, this dish brings some Irish flavor to a Mediterranean staple.

Ingredients:

2 cups bulgur
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup orange sections (about 4 oranges)
7 ounces diced Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup chopped mint
1/3 cup chopped parsley
1/3 cup chopped green onions, white and light green parts

Method:

1. In a large bowl, combine bulgur and boiling water. Let bulgur sit, covered, 20 to 25 minutes or until water is absorbed.
2. While bulgur is sitting, in a screw-top jar, combine oil, lemon juice, honey, mustard, orange zest, salt, cinnamon and pepper.
3. Cover jar tightly and shake well. Combine dressing, bulgur, orange sections, Kerrygold Dubliner Cheese, raisins, mint, parsley and green onions and mix gently. Refrigerate, covered.
