Hot Habanero Mango Bulgue Salad

Mango and habanero offer a tantalizing salad combination. As always, be judicious with your use of the world's hottest chile -- remember you can always add more, but it's hard to take away the heat if you add too much.

Ingredients

• 1 cup bulgur wheat

• 1 3/4 cup boiling water

• 2 mangoes, peeled, seeded and diced

• 1/2 cup carrot shredded

• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, cut into strips

• 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled and sliced

• 1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced

• 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced

• 3/4 cup diced papaya

• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

• 1/4 cup sweet rice vinegar

• 2 tablespoons chile oil

• 1/8 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

• 1/8 teaspoon pressed garlic

• 1/4 habanero chile, seeds and stem removed, minced (or more to taste)

Instructions

Place the bulgur and boiling water in a microwave-safe casserole dish. Cover the dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes to hydrate. Remove the bulgur from the microwave and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, place the mangoes, carrot, red bell pepper, cucumber, celery, and onion.

Put all of the rest of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Add the cooled-down bulgur to the vegetable bowl, then pour the dressing over the entire mixture. Stir gently to coat and serve immediately.
