This is a great summer salad…very tasty !!!

Combine 3/4 cup thinly sliced red onion and 2 tsp lime juice. Let stand 10 mins. This will melow the onion.

Toss together 6 cups cubed watermelon, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 1/4 cup feta cheese, 1/2 cup diced sweet red pepper, 1/2 cup sliced black olives, 3 tsp olive oil, 2 tsp balsamic vinegar. Add the onions and garnish with more mint(opt)

This is delicious !!!!!! Thank-you Margo !

In a large pot heat 2 tbsp veg oil.

 Add 1 cup chopped onion, 1 cup chopped red pepper, 2 cloves of minced garlic and saute until soft

Add 1 cup of wild or brown rice, 4 cups of vegetable stock( you can make it from a cube or envelope with boiling water), 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes and simmer 45 mins or until rice is soft.

Whisk in 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter until well blended then simmer another 5 mins. If it is too thick add water.

Correct seasonings if necessary. Sprinkle with thyme(opt) and serve

Variation:If you do not want starchy carbs omit the rice and add 1 cup of chopped celery and 1 cup chopped carrots. I make a big pot this way and freeze portions then add cooked rice to it if I want the starchy carbs at that time.

Yummy!!!!
