This summery grilled grain salad is sweet and savory with a hint of nuttiness

If you can’t tell from my recipes already, I am a huge fan of all grains! I love adding grains to my salads to bulk them up and help keep me satisfied for longer. They also add a nice texture and nutty flavor (depending on the grain).


This meal is dairy free and you can omit the chicken to make it vegetarian. It is a perfect side dish at a bbq or can be served as a meal on its own.
