Hi Sandy,

You are so right, it should have been 1 1/3 cups not 1/3. Please accept our apologies.

This is a fabuous recipe, but I suspect an error in the amount of water called for, which is not nearly enough to soften the bulgur wheat. I used bulgur # 2 (out of a scale of 1-4 available in the Jon's market here in Los Angeles), so maybe that accounts for the difference. To save a little time, after toasting the wheat, I added the olive oil and the corn together with the water (I used at least a cup more than called for) and cooked it all together, then chilled it and added the remaining ingredients later, including a bit more oil. This dish is very flavorful and has eye appeal. I plan to make it (as well as copies of the recipe) for the people in my diabetic support group. Thanks so much! Looking forward to trying other recipes on this site.
