Lemony Bulgur Salad with Shrimp and Spinach

  • ACTIVE: 15 MIN
  • TOTAL TIME: 2 HRS 10 MIN
  • SERVINGS: 6

Bulgur (a quick-cooking form of whole wheat) is usually boiled before it's eaten, but for this terrific main-course salad, Melissa Rubel Jacobson simply softens it in warm tap water before tossing it with baby spinach and precooked shrimp.

Our Pairing Suggestion

Portugal's Vinho Verde is often overlooked in the United States, but it's one of the best wines for citrusy seafood dishes, like this bulgur and shrimp salad. Plus, even the best bottlings tend to be very affordable.
