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!).

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add cumin and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add Kashi, 2 cups water, and bay leaves; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a bare simmer, cover, and cook until Kashi is tender, about 40 minutes (check occasionally to make sure Kashi isn't sticking; add water, if needed). Transfer to bowl; remove and discard bay leaves. Add lemon juice and remaining oil and cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Add tomatoes, 4 tablespoons almonds, mint, and parsley. Toss well.
- Place a romaine leaf on each of 4 plates. Spoon mixture into center of the leaves. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of almonds.

- 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.
