Instructions

Cook bulgur
1
  • Add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, add bulgur. Stir to combine, then cover and remove from heat.
  • Let stand until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15-16 min. Fluff with a fork.
Cook tofu
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. 
  • While the pan heats, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Using a fork, poke tofu all over.  Season with salt, pepper and Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then tofu. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.) Cook until golden, 2-3 min per side. 
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
  • Bake tofu in the middle of the oven until golden, 12-14 min.
Prep
3
  • Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Finely chop parsley.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Core, then finely chop jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
Make jalapeño-ranch dressing
4
  • Add mayo, sour cream, half the parsley, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic and 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) jalapeños to a small bowl. (NOTE: Reference garlic and heat guides.) 
  • Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Finish bulgur and make salad
5
  • Add lemon zest and remaining parsley to the pot with bulgur. Season with pepper, then fluff with a fork to combine.
  • Add 2 tsp (4 tsp) lemon juice and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. (TIP: Add 1/4 tsp [1/2 tsp] sugar, if desired.)
  • Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.
