Berry-Grain Salad Recipe With the nice weather here to stay, I find myself wanting to spend more time outside and that often includes barbecuing and preparing salads. Here is one of my favourite salad recipes that is perfect for summertime eats, and its always a hit at potlucks anytime of the year! Its light and flavourful with a pinch of spice and sweetness. This salad was introduced to me through a cooking class I attended from Ricki Heller, a Registered Holistic Nutritio...nist. I have adapted it to my taste preferences for you below. Experiment and enjoy! Salad 1 c dry quinoa 1/2 c dry buckwheat (kasha) 3 c water or vegetable broth 1/2 c chopped walnuts, lightly toasted 1/2 c dried cranberries 2 celery stalks, chopped 1/4 c sunflower seeds, lightly toasted 1/4 c sliced green onions 1/4 c chopped parsley or cilantro Dressing 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 Tbsp flax or hemp oil (or use more olive oil) 3-4 Tbsp raw honey or pure maple syrup 1/4c fresh squeezed orange juice 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 1/2 tsp sea salt, or to taste Directions: Bring water or broth to a boil. Rinse quinoa well and add to pot along with buckwheat. Reduce heat to low, then cover and simmer without disturbing for 20 minutes. Uncover (all the water should be absorbed) and let sit to cool. Fluff with fork and turn grains into a large bowl. Add walnuts, dried cranberries, celery, sunflower seeds, green onion and cilantro and toss to mix. In a separate bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Pour over salad and toss to coat evenly. May be served immediately or covered and refrigerated overnight.
