Green Chili Polenta with Red Sauce & Cucumber Slaw

Quickand easy~ I created this meal in about 15 minutes~seriously!! You will love the Green Chili Polenta with Cilantro. It is one of the easiest meals you will ever create. First, you purchase the Green Chili Polenta with Cilantro and your favorite healthy spaghetti sauce. You will find Polenta with both the spaghetti sauces and in the Mexican food section. I found the Green Chili Polenta with the Mexican foods at Whole Foods. 

Ingredients in Polenta


Water, Organic Yellow Corn Meal, Mild Green Chilies, Salt, Organic Cilantro, Organic Cumin, Tartaric Acid, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Beta Carotene (Vitamin A).



First, slice the Polenta into 1/2 inch rings and warm in a pan (do not use oil-it will ruin the Polenta and cause it to fall apart) Cook on both sides.

Second, while you are warming your Polenta, make your Cucumber Slaw.  Use a Julienne peeler like the one below from Williams-Sonoma to quickly create long thin slices of both 1 cucumber and 2 carrots.  Add in 5 sliced green olives if desired. Put 1 tablespoon of your favorite healthy Italian type dressing on it.

Third, slice apple. Fourth, divide Polenta on two plates. Cover with red sauce and garnish with cilantro, basil or parsley leaves. Place Cucumber Slaw on plate with sliced apples. ENJOY this healthy and easy meal!!
