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!).

Ingredients

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
1 small onion, finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup uncooked Kashi 7 Whole Grain Pilaf
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered

In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add cumin and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add Kashi, 2 cups water, and bay leaves; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a bare simmer, cover, and cook until Kashi is tender, about 40 minutes (check occasionally to make sure Kashi isn't sticking; add water, if needed). Transfer to bowl; remove and discard bay leaves. Add lemon juice and remaining oil and cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
