“This very healthy salad is our own version of tabbouleh (or tabbouli), a Middle Eastern dish made of bulgur and fresh herbs. Good, all-natural versions of fresh tabbouleh are available in the refrigerated sections of most supermarkets. (Look for it next to the hummus.) We’ve added some finely chopped broccoli to replace some of the traditional parsley, which many Americans find a little overpowering, and chopped walnuts for extra crunch and nutrition.”

’Carrot cake is a perennial favorite, but it is often loaded with vegetable oil and laden with a cream cheese frosting. Our version is healthier, using a small amount of olive oil, a full cup of honey for moistness and flavor, and a combination of whole wheat pastry and unbleached flours. The crunchy walnuts even add a bit of omega-3 fats to this sweet treat. With a cup of hot green tea, this cake will make you forget about cream cheese frosting. Enjoy!
