Description:

Grain salads like this one take well to meal prepping, as they can last several days in the fridge and taste great both chilled or reheated. It is also adaptable to what you have on hand. No white beans? Try chickpeas. No quinoa? Try wheat berries. Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs.
