Multigrain Salad

As a dietitian, and foodie, I eat most (healthy) foods, however quinoa is one of the super-foods that I am just not that into. I enjoy it sparingly added to salads, soups, but to enjoy a bowl of it, I'd rather pass. That's what I love so much about this multi-grain salad - the multiple grains! It's not just quinoa; its quinoa + barley + wheat berries + whatever other whole grains you have in your pantry.

Check out this hearty and satisfying salad!

I particularly like to make a large batch that I can keep on hand for a few days, to eat a side dish or a main course.

Kale is one of my favourite greens to use in salads, because of it's benefits: packed with nutrients such as fibre, folate, vitamins A, C, K, and potassium, to name a few. It's also a hearty green so it can handle a dressing or marinade without wilting.
