This grain bowl offers endless possibilities for customization.
Enjoy it hot or cold, on its own for lunch, or add a fried egg for breakfast, or top it with grilled chicken or pan-fried halloumi for dinner. Experiment with different dressings or stick with the balsamic dressing and drizzle it over all your winter favorites.
No wild rice? Swap in quinoa, farro, or your preferred grain. Don’t feel like roasting beets? Opt for pre-cooked ones from the store. Not a fan of pistachios or goat cheese? Any nut, seed, or crumbly cheese will work perfectly.
