Wholewheat Tuna Treat recipe

4 servings

1 3/4 cups dry bulgur wheat

1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 pound bacon

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained

Place the bulgur wheat into a saucepan with at least 3 times it's depth in water.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.

Add water if necessary to prevent burning.

When the wheat is tender, stir in a pinch of salt and simmer for 5 more minutes.

When done, drain and set aside to cool.

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet.

Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown.

Drain, crumble and set aside.

Place the diced avocado into a small bowl.

Season with salt and pepper, then toss with lemon juice to thoroughly coat.

In a large bowl, combine the tuna and cooled bulgur wheat.

Add the bacon and the avocado with its juice, and toss gently.

Serve as a meal or as a salad.
