Ingredients: 2 pickling cucumbers 1 carrot 1/3 jicama peeled 2 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar 3 Tbsp sweet Thai chili sauce 1 tsp sesame oil 1 Tbsp sesame seeds Parsley for garnish Recipe
Tabouleh Salad Bowl
This whole grain salad bowl can kick start your morning, make a light lunch, or a wonderful "el fresco" dinner. Serve with grilled chicken, cold bean salad, or any other lean protein.

Tabouleh Recipe: Ingredients 1 cup water 1 cup fine cracked wheat 1 cup minced fresh parsley leaves 1/2
