Seven Grain Salad
1 cup each of the following grains, cooked or you may substitute any of your favorite grains:
Note: You will want to end up with approximately 7 cups total of cooked grains
Quinoa
Wheatberries
Wild rice
White rice
Bulgur
Barley
Couscous
Cook grains according to the directions on the package. I recommend cooking them the night before since this takes time and several pots.
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/2 orange pepper, diced
1/2 yellow pepper, diced
1 small red onion, diced
1/2 bunch scallions, diced
Mix together and set aside.
Dressing:
1/2 cup mango chutney
1/4 cup prepared plum sauce
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup sesame oil
1 teaspoon roughly chopped, fresh ginger (Use a heavy hand!!!)
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, chopped
Blend all of the ingredients in a food processor. Add salt (approx. 1/4 teaspoon) and pepper to taste. Mix the grains, dressing and chopped vegetables. Garnish with some extra chopped scallions.
