Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

Bulgur is tossed with fresh vegetables and a yogurt-herb dressing.

3/4 cup #2 medium bulgur
black pepper
1 1/2 cup water
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1 large zucchini, diced
6 tablespoons minced fresh Italian parsley
1/2 pound mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed, finely diced
6 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1 large celery, diced
4 tablespoons minced fresh mint
1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 medium green onions, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lightly toasted pine nuts
1 clove garlic, peeled and pressed
In a medium saucepan, combine the bulgur and water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium, and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the lid; stir and let sit for 10 minutes.
Stir together yogurt, parsley, basil, mint, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, black pepper and cayenne. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the bulgur with the zucchini, mushrooms, celery, red pepper, green onions, and dressing. Refrigerate until ready. Garnish with the pine nuts and serve.

Very nice recipe..I omitted the mint as I find it to over powering. I added more garlic and had a very Greek taste.Great main dish with chicken breast.
