1
Note on the grains: You can use anything! Quinoa, other rices, farro, even lentils! I've tried them all. Same with the veggies-use any fresh raw stuff you love!
2
First, cook the grains according to package directions in small pots. You can do this way ahead of time.
3
While the grains are cooking, make the dressing and prep the veggies. Combine all dressing ingredients in a small food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Taste, and add a drizzle of olive oil to thin it out a bit (if necessary) or a bit more salt.
4
For the salad, thinly slice the scallions, lettuce, and endive. Chop the bell pepper and halve the tomatoes.
5
When the grains/rice are done cooking, fluff with a fork and let cool for a few minutes.
6
To serve, place a small spoonful of each of the grains into a large bowl. Add any veggies you'd like, and some cheese, cilantro, and almonds. Drizzle with a spoonful of dressing. Toss gently and serve with coarse sea salt, extra feta, and extra dressing.
7
This is so great because instead of making one big bowl of salad, you can allow each person to make their own. You'll love this!
