Wild Rice Salad Recipe
Last weekend we had friends coming over for dinner by the pool, but I needed to serve something that I could prepare for in advance. I was going to be gone all afternoon and getting in just about the time our guests were coming. I needed to serve something cold as it was quite warm out and the salad had to be substantial enough to be the main dish. My friend Heather shared this wild rice salad recipe with me and it now one of our favorites. I made the salad and added cut up grilled chicken and served it as the main dish with a cold bean salad and whole grain crusty bread and olive oil. To get the recipe click here:

Tabouli Recipe
Instead of a cold pasta salad, try serving a tabouli salad. It is much better for you as the bulgar is whole wheat. It is a complex carbohydrate which means it won't spike your insulin.
You can add really almost any favorite vegetable to it, but the most common are cucumbers and tomoates. With some healthy olive oil and lemon juice you are not sacrificing taste for a healthy salad.
