Method
In heatproof bowl, pour 1 cup (250 mL) boiling water over bulgur; cover and let stand until water is absorbed and bulgur is tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; sautee onion, garlic and mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add red pepper and zucchini; sautee until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
Dressing: In large bowl, whisk together orange juice, oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Add bulgur, ham and sauteed vegetables; toss to combine. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate, uncovered, in airtight microwaveable containers until cold; cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Microwave, covered, at medium-high/ 70% for 3 minutes.)
