Let's just start by saying, when I cook (or in this case assemble), I don't measure, I taste... baking is a whole different story, but I'll do my best!

Summer Grain Salad with Lemon Herb Dressing

2c of any cooked grain of choice- I used a mix of brown rice and red quinoa- you can find these premade pretty easily but rule of thumb is 2/1 water to grain, bring to a boil and then simmer, covered for 20 min and the fluff with a fork

1c garbanzo beans, chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumber

1/2c walnuts, feta, chopped shallots

This recipe is really subjective to taste, adding some yellow peppers or sprouts would be AMAZING- so add whatever vegetable you'd like.

Instructions: Put it all in a bowl... easy peasy lemon squeezy (you'll need that lemon juice)

Lemon Herb Dressing

2T Extra Virgin olive oil

4T fresh lemon juice

1tsp fresh basil

1tsp fresh tarragon

1tsp fresh dill

salt and pepper to taste

stir with a fork, pour over your grain salad

 and toss!

Best served chilled... an hour in the fridge will do the trick!

Great as a side dish, a main dish, or for breakfast with a friend egg!

Keep it simple and snack your way through this one because every ingredient is clean and whole!

Enjoy!
