Summery Greek Salad with Bulgur and Mozzarella

By miss5elements

Bulgur is a quick-cooking whole grain. Because it still has some of the bran (the outer part of the wheat kernel) attached, it has a delicious nutty flavor and is rich in iron, as well as being naturally low in fat and high in fiber.

Ingredients

• 1 c whole-grain bulgur
• 1 bunch watercress, thick stems removed
• 1 15-oz can butter, cannellini, or corona beans, rinsed
• 4 small seedless cucumbers or 1 lg English cucumber, cut into 1" pieces
• 1/2 c pitted green olives, halved
• 1/4 small red onion, sliced
• 1/4 c EVOO, plus more for serving
• 1/4 c fresh lemon juice
• Kosher salt & black pepper
• 1/2 lb fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
