Mexican Bulgur Salad with Citrus-Jalapeño Vinaigrette (Adapted from CL)

1 cup dry bulgur
1 cup boiling water
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup corn kernels

1 jalapeño, minced and seeded
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a large bowl, combine the bulgur with boiling water - cover and let stand until the water has been absorbed, about 30 minutes. Add the carrots, corn, cheese, cilantro and black beans - toss until well combined.

In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, jalapeño, oil, salt and cumin until thoroughly combined. Pour into the bowl with the bulgur mixture and toss again to combine. Can be served at room temperature or made ahead and served chilled.
