                     Lemony Herbed Miracle Noodles with Tomatoes, Olives and Feta
 
2 bags of angel hair, fettuccini or orzo Miracle Noodles
3 tablespoons cold pressed extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 medium-large ripe plum tomatoes (about 3/4 pound) cored, seeded and diced
1/4 pound drained feta,  crumbled
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/2 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon
2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

1) Empty Miracle Noodles into colander, draining the water that the noodles
are packed in. Boil for one minute, drain, pat dry with a small hand towel
and set aside in a large bowl.
 
2) In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon
salt. Pour the dressing over the Miracle Noodles and toss well. Add the tomatoes,
olives, feta, green onions, parsley, mint, tarragon, rosemary, thyme and a generous
grinding of pepper. Toss well and serve within an hour or so of completion.
 
The herbs can be found very easily during the summer season and provide an
enormous flavor punch without the salt!
 
The above combination of herbs does wonders on just about anything.  Try
the fresh rosemary and thyme on chicken and get ready for the compliments.
Put that on a bed of Miracle Noodles and you have a great meal.
 
To a Healthy, Low Cal Summer!
