LISTEN TO THE PODCAST
This next one is pretty special. Rice salad, using cauliflower. Our next guest promises not only is it delicious, it's extremely healthy,. Cookbook author Dana Carpender came by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about her Potluck Rice Salad, sans the rice. Dana told Tonia she takes a head of cauliflower and shreds it into rice using her food processor. She then dices a red pepper, a bunch of scallions, half a cup of fresh parsley for both variety and color. Now comes the special part, 1/2 cup of homemade mayonnaise, which is so much healthier for you than consumer mayo because of the oils you use at home (more likely to have healthy Omega-3s vs bad-for-you Omega 6s found in most commercially available brands.) Add a 1/2 cup of coconut milk, yogurt, along with olive oil, white white vinegar, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Mix it all together and serve chilled. Dana says it went very fast one picnic she brought it to!
