Check out this no-cook, healthy, kosher recipe!

Check out this recipe from Real Simple Magazine. (I get their daily recipes--all of which look delicious, but NOT all of which are dairy-free, gluten-free, and kosher. Some can be substituted, but sadly man cannot.) Fortunately, this one is all of the above--just remember to get gluten-free (and dairy free) tortilla chips, and you'er on you're way!)

The GF Kosher Chef's Cooking Tip: Make this on parve equipment--as citrus fruits are considered harif by some rabbis.
