Brown Rice Cous Cous Salad {gluten free, dairy free}
No grain cooks faster than cous cous, but this grain comes from wheat. I recently found out about brown rice cous cous from Vitacost.com and I’m hooked! It’s gluten free because it’s made from roasted brown rice, and the flavor is nutty and satisfying. You can cook the brown rice then toss remaining ingredients in the pot to makes this a beautiful one-pot meal.

This salad is loaded with iron from both spinach and pumpkin seeds. Vitamin C in the watermelon helps your body absorb the iron. Persian Lime infused oil and Jalapeno Lime Balsamic vinegar gives a wonderful flavor to this tasty salad. Read more →
About
I used to be the girl curled up in the corner at a birthday party. I would go to party, eat the food, and end up in so much pain in my belly that all I could do was curl into a ball and wait for my mom to come pick me up. That’s what my friends remember about me, I’m talking over 20 years ago. My stomach hurt after every single meal. No fun!
Years later, as I young adult, I changed up my diet. I removed dairy and found that I was no longer in pain every day. >> Read More
