KASHI SALAD

Kashi can be found in any health food market. It is a grain blend and it is also used for a breakfast porridge. This recipe comes from a health food class I've been taking. It really is very good. Kashi has a nice chewy texture and this salad has a great flavor. Low fat and you don't need salt for this because the tamari is quite salty. I hope you will try it! The prep time is for chilling the Kashi (it must be COLD!).

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your salad.

  • Add a variety of vegetables. This will make your salad more colorful and nutritious.
  • Don't be afraid to mix and match different flavors. Sweet and savory, crunchy and soft, tangy and creamy - anything can work in a salad.
