Satisfaction will never come if we claim to have God, but then quench our souls on the short-lived, inadequate pleasures of this world. These “thirst quenchers” are really spiritual poison and are condemned by our Lord. Through the Prophet Jeremiah, God said, “For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to hew for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water” (Jer. 2:13). Our only hope comes if we can “thirst” and “yearn” to drink from the living God. As Jesus said, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink” (Jn. 7:37).

DRESSING
In a large bowl, gently toss together salad ingredients.
In a small bowl, combine dressing ingredients. Pour over salad and toss
again. Top with garnish.
Advance Preparation: Both salad ingredients and dressing may be prepared in
advance and refrigerated. For best quality, toss together just before
serving.
Hints:
To cook bean thread, immerse it in boiling water for about 10 minutes to
soften. Drain, rinse with cool water, and cut into 3-inch strands.
For those concerned about complete protein, tofu, peanuts and sesame seeds
complement one another to form a high-quality "complete" protein.
