As soon as people came over for the dinner that night, I realized there wasn’t going to be enough food, so I fixed another recipe I’d discovered online. I adapted this from an Ellie Krieger (of the Food Network) recipe for Wheat Berry Salad. Hers was supposed to use hard wheat berries and take an hour and a half…I opted out of that. Here’s my version.
Whole-Grain Pilaf Salad- I eyeballed this, so I can’t really tell you the amounts. Eyeball it. You’ll live.
- One package Kashi Seven Grain Pilaf (I found this with the rices in Kroger’s organic section)
- Chopped walnuts
- About 2 stalks of celery, chopped
- Dried cherries, chopped
- Green onions, chopped- use what feels good to you. Mine were pretty potent.
- Parsley and/or other herbs
- Squirt of lemon juice
- Olive oil
- Salt and Pepper
Prepare the pilaf according to the directions on the package. Stir in all ingredients and go! This is a winner!
After being overtaken by school this year, I decided to take this summer off to do what I wanted. My goal is to cook more- at least three new things a week. I'm going to document these and other adventures here...these are my experiences with cooking (AND with keeping up with a blog).
