Jyoti's Tasty Tip:

This is another method of using grains by making it into a salad. The famous Greek Salad is the obvious inspiration for this; very casual and comforting. Actually, you can try any other grain you fancy and maybe add some beans too for more protein.

Remember, it's all about the taste! Chef Jyoti
