Boil water. Chop the sweet potatoes and place in the oven first. Pour the boiling water over the bulgur and figs. Chop the remaining ingredients for each salad. Place the pears in the oven to roast. Make the dressing for each salad. Toss the bulgur salad first and then toss the sweet potato, pear & kale salad. Serve warm, room temperature or even warm.
Fruit and beans come together as little gems in a balsamic kissed bulgur salad. The simple bulgur grain is partially cooked, which makes it especially easy for creating quick grain based salads such as this and the more traditional tabbouleh. You certainly can substitute a different grain such as quinoa and millet which are both gluten-free and excellent options. Substitute your favorite salty, roasted nuts such as walnuts for the feta cheese to make this vegan and dairy-free.
Winter is certainly a time of a sporadic access to various produce and this salad is very reflective of this time as oranges are coming in to season, just as pears are going out. Find that sweet spot where they overlap and make goodness in the form of this simple salad.
