Ingredients

4 Servings

¼

cup bulgur (not quick-cooking)

4

large eggs

Kosher salt

12

ounces haricots verts or green beans, trimmed

3

oil-packed anchovy fillets, coarsely chopped

1

garlic clove, coarsely chopped

2

tablespoons red wine vinegar

1

teaspoon Dijon mustard

1

teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

1

teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1

small summer squash or zucchini, thinly sliced crosswise

1

medium Persian cucumber, thinly sliced crosswise

1

cup parsley leaves with tender stems

Finely grated Parmesan (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook bulgur according to package directions; drain and set aside

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, cook eggs in a large saucepan of boiling water 8 minutes (the yolks should be just set). Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a colander set inside a bowl of ice water and chill until cold. Lift colander out of bowl; peel and coarsely chop eggs. Transfer eggs to a plate. Add more ice to bowl.

    Step 3

    Return water in saucepan to a boil; add a generous handful of salt. Cook haricots verts until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to bowl with ice water. Chill until cold; drain and pat dry.

    Step 4

    Using the side of a chef’s knife, mash anchovies and garlic to form a paste. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in vinegar, mustard, lemon zest, and pepper; season with salt. Add bulgur, haricots verts, zucchini, cucumber, and parsley to bowl and toss until vegetables are evenly coated. Serve topped with eggs and Parmesan.

    Step 5

    Do Ahead: Haricots verts can be blanched and anchovy vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill separately.
