Not everyone likes cilantro, but for those who do, here is a healthy, nutrient-dense salad that works well as a light side dish on a summer day.
Summer is here and with it comes one of my favorite ways to cook- grilling. If you're willing to try a fantastic alternative to the burger, I highly recommend this recipe which uses traditional Middle Eastern flavors.
