Any grains can be used for this - it's especially good for freshening up left-over risotto, or using a shop-bought pack of mixed grains for convenience.#summerchallenge2

A cabbage-only salad seasoned with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and cumin. Enjoy with your kibbeh bil saynieh!

A nice salad similar to German Potato salad. This salad is about different textures and intense flavor. If adding apples mix in a couple of different ones. Like a Granny Smith apple and one that is sweet. Raisins black and golden. Carrots of the rainbow variety. So many different ways this salad has been eaten over the years. Nuts added including shredded coconut, changes the tempo of the ways it's eaten. I have even put chopped bratwurst or smoked sausage in it instead of bacon. I have always associated, red cabbage with sweet and sour flavors. Even served it with potatoes in it.If you like a sharper tartness about it add apple cider vinegar, or distilled vinegar. The cane vinegar is about as sharp as my youngest granddaughters prefer. Usually I use apple cider vinegar. This one I made for them. They do love the crunchiness of the food they eat.

I needed a refreshing side dish for karaage (Japanese fried chicken).Whole grain mustard isn't spicy. It adds a bit of tartness and depth to the flavor. It's very refreshing and is a perfect side dish for deep-fried food and meat dishes! Please squeeze out as much as water as you can at Step 1 to prevent the flavors from thinning out.

Easy to make!! Great salad for weight watchers since cabbage is a negative vegetable

This dish is a mix of carrot's crunchiness, tang from lemon juice, spicy green chili and to top it all aroma of roasted sesame seeds and its rich nutty taste. You can eat it as a side dish or have it as light healthy lunch/dinner.

It's Friday the end of the week, I was just thinking to myself where did the week go???? I have been so busy these past few days. I had my last Dutch lesson on Tuesday so starting again in October. I have been trying to organise a few things that I need to do over the summer and to top it off I had errands to do this morning. :) As I mentioned in my previous post I am back with another salad recipe!! Since I still have errands to do I wanted to make a very light lunch and this was a fantastic choice.Sorry my post will be quite short today but I will catch you all up on what I will be doing in the future. We are off for the weekend, we are going to visit friends :)Wishing everyone a great weekend, see you back here on Monday :)

I love how all the colors and flavors come together in this salad.
