SERVES 6 (about a cup and a half per serving?)
1. Boil water. Pour over bulgur. Let stand for 45 minutes. Press out excess water. Let cool.
2. Pour 2T lemon juice (I used lime juice) over cut-up apples. Tart, crisp apples like Braeburn are best.
3. Chop and toast walnuts at 325. Let cool.
4. Cook chicken breasts, let cool, cut into cubes. Poaching works well.
5. Mix 1/4 cup lemon juice and 3T olive oil for dressing.
