Hawaiian food that won't pack on the pounds
You can't live without the laulau at a luau but you might live longer if you replace pork laulau with our recipe for Steamed Mahimahi Laulau. This Lomilomi Salmon doesn't just taste good, the polyphenols and flavanoids found in tomatoes and onions are antioxidants minus the added salt and sugar. Instead of Chicken Long Rice try this health smart salad version. Coconut is a healthy source of fat and a great source of potassium. With all these health conscious mains you can afford to finish off with a healthy helping of Haupia Pie.
