For a colourful salad that impresses the crowd, go no further than Petrea King's green and gold masterpiece.

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fine-grain burghul (cracked wheat)
  • 3 corn cobs
  • 3 zucchini, finely sliced
  • 3 small red chillies, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 3/4 cup green onions (shallots), finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Method

Pour the hot water over the burghul and set aside to soak for an hour.

Blanch corn cobs in boiling water for five minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water and remove kernels from cobs. Combine with raw zucchini slices, chillies, dill, shallots and parsley.

Drain burghul and squeeze excess water out by wringing out in a clean tea-towel.

Combine the burghul with all the other ingredients and let stand for an hour before serving.
