 Directions

Southeast Asia meets the Middle East in this fragrant salad. Rebecca has
served it with roast duck. This salad is best when freshly prepared.

1. Put the fennel seed in a small skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Toast, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, or until aromatic. Remove from
the heat and crush while still warm. Combine with the yogurt, coconut milk,
orange juice and lemon grass. Set aside.

2. Toss the rice with the coconut, melon, dates, cilantro, lemon zest and
juice. Add the yogurt mixture and toss to combine. Serve at room
temperature.

Variations: Substitute cooked white or brown basmati rice, or quinoa for
the jasmine rice.

EACH SERVING 326 cals, 10g fat (26% cff) estimated by Mastercook.
