INSTRUCTIONS
1998
From Ornish's "Program for Reversing Heart Disease": Drop the noodles
into boiling water until done (length of time depends on type; read
the label). Drain. Toss all ingredients together and marinate for at
least 1 hour. Serve on a bed of lettuce. Other tips: I used 3.5 oz of
noodles, and less dressing. The chili makes it hot so if you don't
like spicy, it would be fine to leave it out. You may want to break
the noodles a little before cooking (but not too much). I made the
mistake of not breaking them and ended up having to cut them a little
in order to get my ingredients to combine properly. This salad is even
better the next day. I imagine it travels nicely because it isn't too
soupy. For those who care: 1C: 84 Cal. .5 g total fat trace
