My version of Tabbouleh

1/2 C Harvest Grains blend (or couscous)
1/4 C quinoa
1/4 C kaniwa (similar to quinoa, here's a link for info http://www.nuts.com/cookingbaking/grains/kaniwa.html?gclid=CMOnt9ytw78CFc07MgodqAYAMQ)
1 diced cucumber
2 diced & deseeded tomatoes
1 chopped carrot
1 diced portabello mushroom cap
1/4 C dried parsley
several mint leaves
1 T lemon juice
1 T olive oil

Cook the grains according to package directions.

While they are cooking, chop the veggies; feel free to add whatever sounds good! Mix the veggies with the parsley, mint, lemon juice, and olive oil.

After the grains have cooled, combine the ingredients and enjoy! This recipe made 4 lunch-sized portions.

Tomato & Basil Green Beans

1 pound green beans
2 tomatoes, diced & deseeded
handful basil
seasoning to taste

Boil the green beans until cooked.

Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes and remove the seeds. Finely chop the basil and select your seasonings. (I used a dash of ground pepper and garlic powder.)

Combine the ingredients and enjoy!

This recipe made 4 sides, each about 225 grams.
