KASHI SALAD



Kashi Salad image

Kashi can be found in any health food market. It is a grain blend and it is also used for a breakfast porridge. This recipe comes from a health food class I've been taking. It really is very good. Kashi has a nice chewy texture and this salad has a great flavor. Low fat and you don't need salt for this because the tamari is quite salty. I hope you will try it! The prep time is for chilling the Kashi (it must be COLD!).

Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
