Potato-less Kunde Mokimo With Israeli Salad A La Grace
As you may have noticed if you're keen, I have a whole bunch of foods stocked up that I'm trying to clear so I have to find more creative ways to cook them. (Africa we really need to change our subsistence farming LOL! Diversify). Anyway, potatoes are also said to not be very good for diabetics so I said, anything can be mashed if your heart is in it. Israeli Salad I find the star ingredients are cucumber, tomatoes, and green hoho but I said what if I cook the tomatoes? They're healthier cooked, anyway, and I've also been working on healthier salad dressings anyway.
