I am a serious fan of grain salads. What’s not to love? They’re healthy, flavorful, and even better when made ahead.
After preparing many of these salads for both my clients and myself I realized that a recipe isn’t necessary, so much as a formula. You can mix and match ingredients based on what you have on-hand, what’s in season, or what you’re craving. Concoct a Greek-ish grain salad, or a Latin-ish one, an Asian-ish one, or a whatever-is-in-your-fridge one. They are as flexible as they are delicious.
Here is my Super Salad Formula:
Grain + Veg + Dressing + (OPTIONAL: Nuts + Herb + Cheese)
Simple right? Start with your basic components and go from there.
