DRESSING

SALAD FIXIN'S

Carbs:Use any of the following, depending on how "McDougall-correct" (I've been learning a lot from you Barbara Z!) you want to be.

16 ounces dry fusilli (or any pasta, whole wheat is fine) boiled 1 cup dry brown rice, cooked (don't know how much it makes cooked) combined with: 1 cup dry couscous (soak for 20 minutes in 1⅓ cups boiling water) -or, combine with any other grains such as quinoa, barley, or whatever you like ~I think this would also be delicious and nutritious if beans (white, garbanzos, black) were added to the pasta or grains-use your imagination and let me know how it goes!
