Bulgur and Beets

My neighbor and landlord brought me some beet greens. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, then I came up with this.

1 cup Bulgur
2 cups water
1 tsp salt
1 can diced beets
1 red onion
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbs. Apple Cider syrup (or sweetener you have on hand)
2 crisp apples (Fugi, Gala, Granny Smith
1 Tbs. Cinnamon
4 cups beet greens

Bring water and salt to boil, and add bulgur and cook until the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Set aside for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Add diced beets drained, diced onion, diced apples, cinnamon, and mix. Now whip the balsamic, oil, and sweetener for the vinaigrette and pour over the contents and mix. Now add the diced beet greens. This turned out very well, and was enjoyed by all who ate it.
