eat your greens!

Many of us don't like the flavor of dark leafy greens, so we tend to not eat them. Yet they are  filled with vital nutrients and enzymes designed to help build healthy blood and nourish our bodies.

If you don't like dark leafy greens in your salad, consider tasting some more exotic or ethnic dishes that incorporate healthy greens.

One of my favorite dishes from the middle east is Tabbouleh. You can buy a pre-mix at most grocery stores. or simply make your own. Here's my version:

1 cup pre-soaked bulgar wheat
1 bunch fresh parsley finely chopped
4 ripe med tomatos diced
juice of 1 lemon
olive oil
garlic,
salt/pepper


In large bowl add the pre-soaked bulgar, parsley, tomatos, lemon juice - olive oil (as you desire) , garlic and salt/pepper to taste. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes before serving. Yummy and packed with nutrients!
