Ingredients

2 cups cooked brown rice1 large carrot, chopped1 cup broccoli florets, choppedhalf cup of chopped red peppera couple almonds, thinly sliced. I put 6 in for nutrition info20 raisins1/2 small red onion, chopped. only use if you really like raw onion!1 celery stalk, chopped1/2 cup chopped walnutstahini dressing to taste. I have 2.5 tbsp in for nutrition info.

Directions

Basically, all you have to do is toss all of the chopped veggies, fruits and nuts together lightly with tahini. The tahini basically holds everything together and adds fantastic flavor.
I then arrange a serving in the middle of a plate. Put hummus, feta cheese and sliced warm multigrain flatbread or pita around the salad on the side. (None of those ingredients are listed in nutrition info because they are totally optional.)

Enjoy!

Oh Boy, Salad!

This was my great-grandfather's favorite salad. He didn't like lettuce, so when he saw this salad coming out, he always said, "Oh boy, salad!" thus the name. Submitted by: TANGO5617
