Mizuna, Cheese, and Sausage Sandwich Toast
Mizuna is usually used in Japanese salads. In this recipe, I tried to use it in a sandwich toast and it went well. This would be a good substitute for lettuce.

Quinoa Tabbouleh
We love this quinoa tabbouleh on a hot summer day. Quinoa has a much nicer taste than bulgur and it's gluten-free so everyone can enjoy this Middle Eastern salad. The longer you let the tabbouleh sit, the better it tastes.
